CALL ME HERO (8) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in fourth wasn't far away finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner (29.62). Should bounce back. DR. AURORA (1) flew the lids and led throughout to get off the mark with her maiden win, then finished a 7 length fourth last start at this track over 435m (25.12). Back to track where she won her maiden. Can improve sharply here. DR. MITCH (4) was below best at his last start when 8th at this track following a third place finish (24.86) there two back. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. DR. SMOKEY (6) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Was out of placings last time (25.12) at this track in a Mix 6/7, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Makes strong appeal.

Missed the frame latest (17.05) when fifth over 300m at Healesville in a T3 Grade 7. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Will need the right run.

Could only manage eighth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (24.86) over 435m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but in the mix on his best form.

Lines up from box 8 for the first time after finishing a 1.3 lengths fourth at this track (29.62) in a Mix 6/7. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
