ASTON SUMMIT (1) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (25.77) at Geelong. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with three wins from four starts. Good form should continue. NANCY DEVERE (2) box seated before sticking on well to finish 3.5 lengths away in second (28.12) at this track in a Grade 5 over 500m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expecting another good run. SORELLA (4) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 7 lengths (28.22) at this track. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. BERSERKER VIKING (7) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 4.5 lengths second (25.77) over 460m at Geelong. Has won three races from this box. Expected to feature.

Put a space on them to win by 7 lengths at this track over 500m (28.22) beating High Cotton in Grade 5 on March 11. Ran the fastest time on the program in the latest win. Worth following up.
