SLICK NITRO (1) has a terrific record this track and trip with two wins and one placing from three starts. Recorded a 2 length win (34.45) in a Mix 6/7 last time at this track. Looks a key chance on best form. HIS SPECIAL (8) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fifth (30.14) at this track in a Grade 5. Expected to bounce back to best. SCOTCH TIME (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (31.25) in a Grade 4/5 at Ballarat. Solid record here winning three races. Deserves plenty of respect. BUSTER'S DREAM (7) can sneak into the finish.

Didn't make the placings last time at Mt Gambier (30.22) in a Other, finishing a 12 length fifth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and six minors. Will need the right run.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (25.09) over 435m at Sale. Has to overcome a wide draw but is among the better hopes.

Latest effort finished 5th on March 19 over 515m at this track behind Like A Rock beaten 16 lengths (30.14) in a Grade 5. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.
