KENZIE KID (1) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing sixth (26.70) at this track latest. Form here at the trip sound including four wins. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Has ability and can bounce back. ASTON HAMILTON (6) has a strong record here with four wins and two placings from 10 starts. Hit the frame latest (23.58) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Looks a key chance on best figures. SOMERTON WILLOW (3) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 2.75 lengths fourth (19.79) over 350m at Healesville. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from seven starts. Can do much better this time. SMOOTH TIGER (2) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot most recently.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (26.70) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 10 length sixth. Has three successes and five minors from 15 starts from box 1. Looks a leading chance.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.75 lengths fourth (19.79) over 350m at Healesville. Yet to win but has been in the money four times from seven starts off this draw. Right in the mix.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (26.62) over 460m at this track. Awkwardly drawn but capable of a better result.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.79) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.75 lengths seventh. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed six times. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Good effort last time when second (23.38) over 400m at this track. Jumps from the outside. One of the better hopes.
