BUB WHO (3) produced a moderate effort last time when fifth at Warragul over 400m behind Daintree Damage (23.52) in a Grade 5. Placed at his previous run. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Can discover winning form. DOLLAR BUCKS (8) has mixed form recently, finishing seventh (23.62) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Key player on best and worth another try. ASTON MONSOON (7) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 460m behind Aston Exclusive (26.43) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Better than last start and can bounce back. LIVING THE DREAM (4) is right in the mix.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.62) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5, finishing a 14 length seventh. Has five successes and six minors from 16 starts from box 8. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
