BOUNDING CHIEF (1) comes off an average run last start when eighth at The Meadows over 600m behind Tawny Tears (36.17) in a Grade 5 NP. Placed at his previous run. Can bounce back. ARCHER SWEET (3) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (30.72) in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. TO PERU (8) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at this track over 515m behind Canya Bolt (30.62) in a Grade 5. Can figure in the finish. VERA JAKIT (2) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Missed the frame latest (30.72) when sixth over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
