MISS JO (4) flew the lids with a sensational early split and hit the frame with a 4.5 lengths third (23.17) over 400m at this track. Boasts two wins from five starts out of this box. Leading chance again. DOLLAR BUCKS (8) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 5th (23.22) at this track. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. VALVE BOUNCE (1) doesn't win out of turn. Finished in the minors latest when second (22.79) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Has a good record at this journey. Expecting another good run. AUSSIE STRIKE (2) is not to be discarded.

Showed good improvement when second behind Did She at this track last start over 400m (22.79). Likely to play a major role.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when third (22.30) over 390m at Warrnambool. Has a low draw and capable of a better result.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 4.5 lengths third over 400m at this track, clocking 23.17. More than capable and has to be included.

Backs up after winning by 2.25 lengths at Healesville (16.97) beating Taryn's Blue in a Grade 5 on July 3 four days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3.5 lengths fifth (35.22) over 595m at Sandown. Solid claims this line-up.
