Ordinary effort last start when he got back too far over 350m at Healesville. Prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (22.53) beating Elma's Girl in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 on October 20. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (25.64) at Ballarat over 450m. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.

Has been in tremendous form, putting three wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won easily by 6 lengths at this track (22.23) beating I'm Honey in a Special conditions Veteran race on October 23. In a purple patch of form and likely to run well again.

Missed the frame latest (29.92) when fourth over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Has two wins and three placings from eight starts from the draw. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior was a strong winner after leading throughout, scoring by 5 lengths in a Grade 5 at Ballarat and clocking a fast 22.26 over the 390m trip. This tougher and prefer for a place this time.

Comments

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. Last start finished fifth over 400m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Hard to envisage a win.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
