NOCTILUCENT (2) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on her superb win the start prior, getting around Shepparton over 390m in 21.96. Has the ability and expected to go close again. PERIODICAL (7) hit the ground running from the squeeze draw with a slick early split, holding on for a minor placing when second and beaten a neck at Warragul over 400m in 22.78. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. BULL DURHAM (6) was in the minors two back (22.17) at Warrnambool but ran below best last time at Warragul, finishing 6th. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. SARSAPARILLA KID (3) was in the money last start at big odds - poses a threat again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.69) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length fourth. Goes very well off the draw boasting six wins and two places from 11 starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (16.89) at this track over 300m. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Will be thereabouts.

Was out of placings last time (26.82) at Warragul in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Super consistent from the draw with a win and three places from four starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 400m at Warragul clocking 22.78. Consistent performer from this draw. Top chance on best form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 515m at Sandown. Happy enough to avoid.
