JUST BELIEVE (6) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Grade 5 at this track. Meets a moderate line up and rates on top this time. SPECIAL LAD (2) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Grade 5 winner three back (22.23) at Shepparton over 390m. Can feature with the right run. BIG MAKO (3) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at this track following on from a third place finish (22.83) there the start prior. Solid record here at the distance winning five races. Better than last start and can bounce back. AUSSIE WAGYU (4) scored last time and appeals as a top-three prospect.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.18. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 390m at Warrnambool at Mix 6/7 FIN level. Happy to risk this time.

Missed the frame latest (22.58) when fifth over 390m at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Key chance and should go close.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when seventh (23.82) at this track. Aided by a low draw but will need the breaks to go his way.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 3.5 lengths (22.25) over 390m at Warrnambool. Has claims if at his best.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (22.81) over 400m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need to find best.

Good performance to win by one length at Warrnambool over 390m (22.37) beating Dodge The Dream in Restricted WIN on May 28. Others make more appeal.
