ALLEY OOP JOHNNY (3) Went to the front and never looked back when winning by a margin of a head last run here but challenged by more formidable competitors. Unbeaten last 2 attempts. Suited. NINJA STAR (5) Faded away to finish 5th last start here. Should improve here and matched against lesser competition. Expected to be flashing home. Well placed and has solid claims. JIM'S HOPE (2) Struggled with the pace when 7th last start around here. Can show a better performance this time and can find a nice position from the draw. One of the major players. PROUD RONIN (4) Folded up in the straight when 6th last run around here. May see an upturn in form and competing at a lower class. In top racing shape this preparation. Include in chances.

Resuming after a spell of 40 weeks. Peaked on the run when 3rd last start at Hastings Park and has minimal work to do from the draw. Has to improve out of sight.

Was $11.00 and weakened under pressure when 7th last start around here. Can show a better performance this time and has a positive draw. Can go through the gears. Nice value bet.

Was $14.00 and tailed off to finish 6th last run around here. May see an upturn in form and competing in a less challenging grade. One for the value hunters.

Jumped at $6.50 and didn't attack the line when 5th last start around here. Should improve here and facing weaker opposition. Has good closing speed. Strong prospects.
