ASTON TORTA (3) hit the ground running from out wide with a fast early sectional but run over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fifth (23.42) over 400m at this track. Ready to return to form. MICK SWAGGER (2) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 0.8 lengths second (20.03) in a T3 Grade 7 at Healesville. Expected to be in this for a long way. BOSTON DASH (1) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing third (23.02) at Ballarat. Can feature again. ONCIDIUM (4) should be thereabouts.
