MORAINE KOBY (2) struggled for best form latest, finishing 4th (30.10) in a Grade 5 at Sandown. Has won here at this journey. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Has ability and looks hard to stop. KIWI FRED (6) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Pure Silk (25.34) in a Restricted WIN H. Has the pace to be prominent. Hard to beat again. ELECTROJET (3) crossed over from out wide but caught the leaders turning before drawing clear to score (23.85) at Bendigo in a Grade 4/5 over 425m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to feature again. BERNARDO BLUE (1) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warragul over 400m in 22.48. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 450m at this track at Grade 5 level. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Missed the frame latest (30.10) when fourth over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Expected to go close.

Good effort to score just five days ago over 425m at Bendigo by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 4/5. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 450m at this track. That followed a win two back in 22.50 beating Stojanovic over 400m at Geelong. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Was edged out last time at this track when beaten just half a length but did clock a fast 25.34 over the 450m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest at big odds finishing third (25.49) at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. One of the better hopes.

Comments

Missed the frame latest (28.54) when sixth over 500m at Bendigo in a Grade 4/5. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Others rate better this time.
