KING MATTEO (1) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 2.5 lengths second (24.15) over 425m at Bendigo. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Likely to feature again. KRAMER'S KING (7) goes very well this trip starting 24 times for eight wins and eight minors. Below best last time at this track (19.52) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths fifth. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. FIRING CHIEF (4) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Hail The Chief (19.41) in a Grade 5. Bold showing expected. OLIVER KELTON (3) deserves plenty of thought over this journey.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 2.5 lengths third but did clock a handy 19.41 over the 350m journey. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.3 lengths in 19.36, beating Aussie Savannah. Last start finished 6th on August 17 over 350m at this track behind She's Reloaded beaten 5 lengths (19.81) in a Grade 4/5. Major threat on best form.

Missed the frame last start when fifth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Better than last run and looks set to run well.
