BLINKED (1) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a third place finish (30.18) there the start prior. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Can atone. MAXI GRIN (8) finished well back at The Meadows last time when a 10 length fifth (30.87) but scored five back at The Meadows (30.27). Better than last start and can bounce back. PAW BENNETT (2) had been in super honest form hitting the frame four times on end before finishing sixth (30.65) at this track last time. Has a good record at this journey. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Cannot be taken lightly. LEVIATHAN (4) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished last over 515m at this track beaten 9 lengths (30.46) behind Mr. Mocha in a Grade 5 on May 11. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching four minors in a row. Has a low draw but looks a each way chance only this field.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 5 lengths behind Mr. Mocha over 515m. Is a danger.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (26.12) at big odds over 460m at Warragul. Drawn out wide and looks tested this line up.
