ZELDA BRAGA (3) was fast away and led all the way to score two back then gave a start last time but got home into the frame when third at this track (25.83). The form from his last run stacks up well. Makes plenty of appeal. RED CABANG (5) turned in a solid run last start over 500m at Bendigo finishing 5th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (29.12). Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Can measure up this time. BIRDWOOD FRANKY (1) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (19.85) in a T3 Grade 6 at Healesville latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Rates a winning chance on best. MINOR THING (2) has a solid strike rate from this box.

Was out of placings last time (19.85) at Healesville in a T3 Grade 6, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and three places from five starts. Looks well placed and should feature.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 390m. Last start finished 3rd over 450m at this track beaten 2.75 lengths (25.83) behind Gunai Hurricane in a Grade 6 on August 21. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th on August 20 over 500m at Bendigo behind Bandit Ronnie beaten 3.5 lengths (29.12) in a T3 RSTW. Placed two back at this track. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 450m at Ballarat. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
