THAT AWAY (6) finished well back on debut (24.80) at Traralgon then better for the experience broke through last time to score a 2.5 lengths maiden win (24.08) at this track. Well placed and will be tough to beat. THERMAL KNIGHT (8) finished in the placings on debut (23.10) at Shepparton then better for the experience broke through last time to score a 0.8 lengths maiden win (24.28) at this track. Form should stack up. ASTON GIOVANNI (2) was out of the placings last time when eighth at Traralgon (25.08) but scored three back at Traralgon (24.07). Deserves plenty of respect. LUCKY SPIN (1) is in form and worth thought again.

Solid performance to win by 2 lengths at Traralgon over 425m (24.38) beating Sustainable in T3 RSTW on August 17. Has never missed the frame in two starts from this box. Definite chance.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished last in a Mix 6/7 on August 14 over 425m at Traralgon behind Dr. Nakita beaten 14 lengths (25.08). Expected to go very well.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 350m at Traralgon. That followed a win two back in 24.45 beating Dr. Graphite over 425m at Traralgon. Might struggle this time.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 390m at Shepparton beaten 7 lengths (22.77) behind Zenyatta in a T3 Grade 7 on August 6. Placed two back at Shepparton. Has claims on best form.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 2.5 lengths over 425m at this track (24.08). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
