DON'T TELL SHELL (3) was in the minors two back (24.21) at Traralgon but ran below best last time at this track, finishing 6th. Solid record here at the distance winning 10 races. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. BLUE BOY SHIRAZ (6) turned in a plain run last time when seventh at this track over 425m behind Tornado Tessa (24.78) in a Grade 5. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Has ability and is one of the better chances. COMPARE BUBBLE (2) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish second (25.70) at Shepparton in a Restricted WIN over 450m. Leading player again. BEELINE (7) is worth including.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 12 length eighth over 425m at this track. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

After failing to finish two starts back she came out and won by 3 lengths at Warragul (22.98) beating Got Flair in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 on July 2. Others hold stronger claims.
