CONTRADICTION (1) is a progressive type who recorded his 7th career win last time out (25.00) at Warrnambool. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Will go close again if runs up to latest. MEPUNGA EXPRESS (8) boasts a consistent overall record including 10 wins from 21 starts, the latest winning (19.19) over 350m at Healesville. Form at this distance is sound. Looks well placed here and has the ability. Go well. SIR SILVERTREE (5) comes off a sharp 25.30 placing at Warrnambool over 450m. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. ASTON MORENO (4) was in the money last time at Warrnambool (25.40) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.75 lengths second. Already a winner from this draw.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 4.5 lengths over 450m at Warrnambool in a handy 25.00, beating Sir Silvertree. Well suited by the draw. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Missed the frame last start when a 13 length seventh (26.58) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at Ballarat. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.

Hit the frame at Warrnambool last time when a 1.75 lengths second but did record a handy 25.40 over the 450m journey. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 4/5 on May 14 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Contradiction beaten 4.5 lengths (25.30). Around the mark recently. Among the leading chances.

Was out of placings last time (26.33) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
