LEKTRA BETA (2) hit the ground running last start and was never headed (29.52) at Sandown in Grade 4/5 over 515m. Can make it back-to-back wins. BUSH BIG SHOW (8) flew the lids from out wide with an impressive turn of foot, going on to clock 23.49 when a neck winner over 410m at Horsham last time. One of main contenders. KEY PHILOSOPHY (1) was unwanted in betting last start but proved too quick with an all-the-way win over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5, scoring by 1.5 lengths (29.90). Has a solid record from this box including three wins and a minor placing. Leading player again. IS HE LUCKY (3) won with authority last start. Sure to run well again.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at The Meadows over 525m in 29.90 last start, beating Slick Badger. Likes the rails so can continue his winning ways.

Form has been strong with wins two and three starts back. Last time out finished 3rd over 525m at The Meadows beaten 11 lengths (30.80) behind Hot Nanu in a Grade 4 on December 27. Looks tested in this company.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length fourth (27.83) over 485m at Horsham. This looks too tough.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by 6 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Geelong, recording a lightning 22.27 for the 400m journey. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (35.06) in a Grade 5 FIN, finishing a 6 length sixth. Goes very well off the draw boasting seven wins and two places from 16 starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
