TICKETS (3) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (23.43) in a Grade 5 at Geelong. Has a good record here including two wins. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Has ability and can bounce back. MANDOLIN STORM (8) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only a neck from Cruzado in second (30.62) at The Meadows. Leading player again. HEART (2) is not to be discarded.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 11 length eighth over 450m at this track. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Missed the frame last start when a 3.5 lengths fifth (24.31) at Bendigo. Previous form sound including a win three back at Warrnambool. Has ability but will need everything to go right.
