INDIAN PRINCE (2) hit the frame latest (25.88) when second at Warrnambool in a Grade 5. Has already won out of this draw. Expected to be in the finish. BIG BOY COOPER (1) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Rattler (30.47) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Expected to be in the finish again. ASTON CASTLE (4) stalked the lead from a middle box and kept coming to win (23.65) at Horsham in Grade 5 over 410m. Leading chance again. BIT OF POTASH (6) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Last start finished 2nd on July 23 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Cruising Jamie beaten 2.5 lengths (25.88) in a Grade 5. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 410m at Horsham in a handy (23.65), beating Paw Ramello. Has claims if at his best.
