GOES BANG (8) placed last time (23.08) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 7 lengths. Looks a leading chance on best. SUNSET VANADIUM (2) is a fast beginner who has shown good improvement at his last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at this track over 400m. Sure to be thereabouts. SWEET MICHELLE (1) settled off speed and overcame a collision with another runner to work home into the placings when second (22.94) at this track in a Grade 5. Should be in this for a long way. CORTINA ACKEE (5) is in fine form and looks a good top-three chance again.

In the money last time at this track (22.94) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths second. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Makes strong appeal.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy 22.55, beating Turbo Tate. Can make it back to back wins.

Good effort to win last start by 4 lengths over 300m at Healesville in a handy (16.94), beating Rita Paige. Will find this a bit tougher, not up to this.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 25.69 with a 2.5 lengths win at Ballarat over 450m. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Won two starts back at this track over 400m when well in the market then went for a spell of a week. Returned last start finished 3rd on September 3 over 400m at this track behind Cortina Ackee beaten 7 lengths (23.08) in a Grade 5. Key chance on best form.
