PATRIOT BURST (2) is on a hot streak recording a 19.23 win over 350m at this track last start following on from a convincing 25.82 success at this track over 460m the start prior. Clocking fast times and looks a key chance again here. CRACKERJACK LES (5) turned in a solid run fresh when finishing in the placings at this track in a Grade 5 H (16.93). Will strip fitter for the run. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Can measure up. MAXIMUM DAMAGE (3) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Grade 5 winner three back (30.35) at Wagga over 525m. Has the ability and expected to do much better. ASTON ROCHELLE (8) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Was a dominant winner to make it two on end at this track over 350m (19.23). Looks suited and should go close again.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd on April 20 over 390m at Shepparton behind Snoozy Donut beaten 1.3 lengths (22.23) in a Mix 6/7. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Ran a better race when third behind Find The Sun at this track last start over 300m (16.93). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fourth (16.97) at this track. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.
