SOUL OF FIRE (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and four minors from 10 tries. Comes off a (19.91) win last time, scoring by 6 lengths in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. WHERE'S THE BOSS (2) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind SOUL OF FIRE (20.31) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Must be included in calculations. NINITA (1) took the sit on the lead but levelled up to score (20.23) at this track in a Grade 5 over 350m. Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. Can make it back-to-back wins. CANE TOAD (5) placed last time and is worth some thought.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 350m in 20.23 last start, beating Big West. Likes the rails so looks to have an edge on most of these.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (20.31) at this track over 350m. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.
