ZAPPER BALE (1) settled back off the inside but went through her gears strongly to find the frame with a 9 length third (29.92) at this track in Grade 5. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Winning claims. ZIPPITY ZIPPIN' (3) drew the squeeze box and managed to fill the frame when second (30.34) at The Meadows in Grade 5. Failed to fire only run here. Leading player again. AVIATION (5) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (30.37) last time in a Grade 4/5 at The Meadows. Form here excellent including two wins. Has ability and is one of the better chances. WHATEVER GEORGE (2) is worth including.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fifth on April 27 over 350m at Healesville behind Washington Blue, beaten 4 lengths (19.84) in a Grade 5. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but he does have a good record at the track and trip, including two wins. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
