HONOURING TURBO (4) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 425m (24.96). Can atone. KNIFE EDGE (6) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (24.95) in a Bottom Up - Grade 7 at this track. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Has ability and can measure up. SPACE KING (1) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 425m behind Wangaratta Queen (25.29) in a Bottom Up - Grade 7. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from six attempts. In the mix. RANSOM (2) is new to this track but can play a major role.
