HEAD HUNTER (3) turned in a moderate effort last time when eighth at this track over 300m behind Happy Chick (18.18) in a Grade 5. The form out of last run is most impressive. Should bounce back. BRAVADO (2) last start finished 6th over 350m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (19.91) behind RAGING ELSA in a Special conditions Veteran race on May 31. Looks well placed here and among the chances. DELATITE BEAST (1) had won two in a row before finishing fourth (22.60) last time at Shepparton. Has ability and is one of the better chances. SAILPLANE (8) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 3rd on June 5 over 300m at this track behind Hijack beaten 1.3 lengths (17.13) in a Grade 5. Top-three hope with the right run.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, leading chance on best form.
