TORNADO JACK (2) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 425m behind Aston Monsoon (24.69) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from 10 starts. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. BLUE ROSES (1) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from four tries. In the money last time at Sandown (30.64) in a T3 Grade 5 H, finishing a 5 length third. Looks suited here and can measure up. BELOW THE CURVE (7) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 2.5 lengths at Geelong in a handy 23.08 beating Intex Bale. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to his credit. Should be in this for a long way. RABADA (8) form at this course and distance reads well.

Placed last time (30.64) at Sandown in a T3 Grade 5 H, finishing third and beaten 5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks a leading chance.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by a neck (22.49) over 390m at Ballarat. Should be around the mark.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Geelong over 400m in 23.08 last start, beating Intex Bale. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.
