LUMINAIRE (1) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from five starts. Comes off a (22.38) win last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win over 400m at Geelong. Appeals as a leading chance in this. GENERAL FRED (6) is an honest type who is having his first look at course. Was an all the way winner latest, running away with a 0.8 lengths win at Shepparton (22.83). Will go close again if runs up to latest. ASTON COMMANDER (4) finished well back at Warragul last time when a 1.1 lengths fifth (23.45) but scored three back at this track (24.05). Scored previously at this trip. Leading chance. ASTON MOSS (2) placed last time out so worth considering.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and led until late but gathered in when a one length third at Geelong over 400m in 22.93. Looks a solid hope.

Backs up after winning easily by 3.5 lengths at Shepparton (22.37) beating Mcvee in a Maiden on July 27 four days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (23.45) at Warragul over 400m. Has run slick time here with a 24.05 PB at the distance. Go close.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Restricted WIN on July 24 over 425m at this track behind Reindeer Keith beaten 1.3 lengths (24.19). Among the chances with the right run.

Racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (29.91) over 515m at Sandown. No wins from this draw but has placed three times. In the mix.

Comments

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 7 lengths at Horsham. Form solid prior to that including a win at Warrnambool three back. Has ability but this tough and looks a place chance at best.
