BISCOTTINO (8) recorded his 3rd career win last time at Horsham, scoring by 6 lengths (27.15). The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Hard to go past. KID GULLA (4) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and three minors. In the money last time at this track (24.19) in a Grade 6, finishing a one length third. Among the main chances. SURGING (7) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 1.5 lengths back in second (22.42) at Shepparton in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 over 390m. Leading player again. TACTICIAN (1) warrants respect although new to this track.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.5 lengths in a Mix 6/7 last start at Ballarat, recording a strong 22.20 over the 390m journey. Smart win and looks a key chance again here.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by 1.3 lengths at Geelong (26.04) beating Reiko Boom in a Mix 6/7 on February 27. Capable of taking this out.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a one length third (24.19) over 425m at this track and making it two placings on end. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Mix 6/7 on March 1 over 435m at Sale behind Extremity beaten half a length (24.73). In the money last time but this is a stern test.

Returns from a ten months break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed at big odds over 425m at this track. Can't make much of a case this time.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 1.5 lengths second over 390m Shepparton in 22.42. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 485m at Horsham in a handy 27.15 beating Koda. In hot form and can take this out.
