CHOJI AKIMICHI (1) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 2.25 lengths (19.63) at this track. Rates to win again. ZIPPI MUSTANG (7) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Finished third (17.05) at this track last time making it four minors on end. Expected to be in this for a long way. FIDDLES (8) was out of the placings last time when fifth at this track (19.53) but scored four back at this track (19.23). Has ability and is one of the better chances. BRAVADO (2) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish in impressive time.

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 350m at this track in a handy (19.69), beating Cheer Down. Will find this a bit tougher, good win last start but looks tested in this difficult assignment.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd on April 17 over 400m at Geelong behind Strop beaten 7 lengths (23.19) in a Grade 5 FIN. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing seventh (25.52) at Sale. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need to find best.
