KRAKEN WESTERN (8) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (22.80) in a T3 Grade 7 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. PURPLE (6) showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 400m Geelong in 23.23. Should play a prominent role. MONARCH (3) latest effort finished 4th over 390m at this track beaten 7 lengths (22.77) behind Gunai Gaga in a T3 Grade 7 on July 2. Suited here and expected to run well. LIL COCKATOO (7) is among the chances again if she runs up to the latest effort.

Comments

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (22.70) at big odds over 390m at this track. Has the inside draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 300m at Healesville. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (23.23) over 400m at Geelong. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a T3 Grade 7 on July 2 over 390m at this track behind Gunai Gaga beaten 7 lengths (22.80). Placed two back at this track. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.
