BLUE LABUBU (6) boasts a strong record this journey with six wins and four minors from 13 tries. Placed last time (21.95) at Ballarat in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten one length. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. SOLICIT (1) flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 0.8 lengths second (22.14) over 390m at this track and making it two placings on end. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Will give a great sight again. ESSENCE (2) had been racing well prior to her last start fourth at this track following a Free For All win three back with a third placing. Well placed here and should do much better. SCOTT GREYSCALE (3) was below best last time at Bendigo (24.09) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fifth. Boasts a top strike-rate from this draw, winning three of five runs.

Comments

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 0.8 lengths second over 390m this track in 22.14. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Missed the frame last start when a 2 length fourth (22.22) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at Healesville. Shapes well here on best and gets chance to atone.

Hit the frame last time at Ballarat but the start prior was a strong winner after leading throughout, scoring by 4 lengths in a Grade 4/5 at Warrnambool and clocking an outstanding 25.23 for the 450m trip. Can measure up on top win two back.

Was out of placings last time (22.59) at Ballarat in a Free For All, finishing fourth and beaten 4 lengths. Strong record off the draw with three wins and two minors from seven starts. Looks one of the chances.
