LIVING LEGEND (1) ran good time (25.27) when placing two back at this track but missed the frame latest in a Grade 5 at this track. Will find this more suitable and can atone. SANDAVE APACHE (7) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (25.43) at this track behind Zippy Tippy in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to give a sight. Can measure up. ZIPPING BJORN (2) box seated before sticking on well to finish 4 lengths away in second (23.90) at Casino in a Grade 5 over 411m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Winning chance. NIP OF SCOTCH (5) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Could manage only fourth last time but impressed the start prior when he recorded an exceptional 25.27 over 450m finishing second at this track. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Casino over 411m in 23.71. Followed that up with a minor placing over 411m at Casino at Grade 5 a week ago. Looks a solid hope.
