CORNHILL WARRIOR (1) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey here having won three of four starts. Comes off a (22.50) win last time, scoring by 4 lengths in a Grade 5 over 390m at this track. Rates on top and should go close. KATE'S RIFT (2) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 2.5 lengths (22.86) at this track. One of the better chances. VINNY DEWALT (5) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (22.59) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Expected to do much better this time. CHOW MEIN (4) placed last start and is in the mix again.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around this track over 390m in 22.50, claiming a Grade 5 by 4 lengths. Looks the one to beat again.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 2.25 lengths third over 400m at Geelong, clocking 23.09. Should be around the mark.

Comments

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (22.78) over 390m at this track. Tough draw to overcome but in the mix on his best form.
