BLAZING RASO (8) goes very well here starting 19 times for seven wins and three minors. Scored by 0.8 lengths last time (34.43) in a Grade 4/5 over 600m at this track. Looks well placed and should feature. ELECTRIC ASSENT (1) has been a in top form recording back to back wins and both in best of the card, going 29.53 two back before 29.69 last time. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Sure to measure up. FASCINATE VERN (4) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (30.37) in a Grade 4/5 at Gosford. Has a good record here including four wins. Form from his last run is proving strong. Bold showing expected. SMOOTH WHITE (2) is a last-start placegetter in good time - solid claims again.

Comes off a (34.43) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 600m at this track. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and five places from 18 starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
