GIDGEE BUG (3) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (22.59) at this track over 380m. Form here at the trip excellent including two wins. Can make amends. ETERNAL WINTER (8) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing seventh at this track, but was among the placings at this track three back. Can improve sharply here. GIGANTOR (7) was a (28.95) winner last time out at this track from Box 8. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. PHOENIX SILVER (1) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Has run blistering time here with a 28.61 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Comments

Hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by one length in a OPEN at this track and clocking a brilliant 37.48 for the 643m trip. This tougher and prefer for a place this time.

Last start finished last over 380m at this track beaten 7 lengths (22.19) behind Stappen On Tap in a Free For All on January 20. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.
