TAKARA STING (2) turned in a poor effort by his standards last time out when 35 metres away in sixth over 1609m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. Has the benefit of a good draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. RISE UP DEO (4) has had two runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Added to the sequence last time over 1609m at Philadelphia, finishing 35 metres away from the winner in fifth. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. PERFECT CABERNET (1) is at the track for the first time. By Perfect Sting and hails from the Shane Tritton stable. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Makes plenty of appeal. OZZIES CRAZY TRAIN (6) was not beaten far last start when sixth over 1609m at Philadelphia. Ready to peak third-up from a spell.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Azrael Blue Chip at this track over 1609m in a HOME GROWN on April 25 at $47. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by The Big Ragoo (1:55.00) on April 18 at $9.50. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Comes here in the right form. Won by a 0.6 m (Fr5) at this track (1:57.10) beating A Little Kick in TM<68CD on April 25 at $4.50. Two runs back 3rd (Fr8) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 9 m by American Pastime (1:55.00) in CGNW1PM on April 19 at $43.60. Happy enough to avoid.

Has struggled of late. Last start 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at Philadelphia, beaten 35 m by Gandhi (1:51.40) in CGNW1PM on April 23 at $37.80. The run before 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 60 m by Ballroom Affair (1:54.00) in MAIDEN on March 28 at $109.90. Suitably placed and can turn things around.
