SUGARCANE (1) bolted in last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in slick time (19.86) to take a Mix 6/7 in a new PB this course and distance. Has the ability and looks hard to top. ASTON GRANDEUR (5) won comfortably last time scoring by 4.5 lengths at Geelong after jumping from box 5 (25.82). Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. OPALINA (2) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 16.83 beating SUGARCANE. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Expected to feature again. NOT PERFECT (8) scored on debut and can sneak into the finish again.

Made an impressive debut when flew the lids from out wide with a strong turn of foot, going on to clock 19.34 when a 4.5 lengths winner over 350m at this track. Harder here but shows promise and expected to feature again.
