TO PERU (8) pinged the lids last start from an awkward draw and led throughout to score (29.50) at this track in a Free For All over 515m. Can make it two on the bounce. I'M FABULOUS (4) was in the placings last time but prior to that she ran a blistering 25.73 win over 460m at Warragul. Must include on winning run two back. CLONCURRY GOLD (7) jumped from this box last time and also the same course and distance when a 5.5 lengths third (29.89) in a Free For All. Harder here but expected to feature again. WINTER GOES (2) generally performs well from this box.

Comments

Good effort to win last start by 2.75 lengths over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.07), beating Prison Break. Will find this a bit tougher, predicted to struggle on this occasion.

Rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (29.62) at this track over 515m. Scored five on the trot prior to last start. Can return to winning form.

Won two starts back at this track over 515m in 29.72. Followed that up with a minor placing over 515m at this track at Free For All a week ago. Has been around the mark of late. Keep safe.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by 3 lengths in a Free For All last start at this track, recording a swift 29.50 over the 515m journey. Top win and looms as a strong winning chance.
