NOT AGAIN (8) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when fifth at Warrnambool over 450m behind Giacomo (26.14) in a Special conditions H. Was a winner the start prior. Form from his last run is proving strong. Should be very hard to beat this time. DIVOT (7) produced a moderate effort last time when seventh at Mandurah over 400m behind Sheeran Melody (23.08) in a Grade 4. Was a winner the start prior. Cannot be underestimated. CHAVERO (1) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths (24.63) behind Daddy Cool at Sale. Form from his last run is proving strong. Deserves a win and gets his chance. NEVER EVER LATE (5) can feature with the right run.
