FLAMING SMOOTH (4) was last seen getting around 425m at this track in a solid 24.03 for a half a length success. Has the ability and looks hard to top. SCOTT CHARISMA (1) finds it hard to win. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (22.29) at Shepparton. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Can measure up. MR. FLOOD (8) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (24.96) in a Restricted WIN at this track. Has the ability to give this a shake. DEADLY COOL (7) has ability and can find the frame.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 5 length third over 390m at Shepparton, clocking 22.29. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fifth in a Grade 6 on September 19 over 450m at Ballarat behind Hillbilly Lexi, beaten 6 lengths (26.29). Not up to this.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to win by half a length at this track over 425m (24.03) beating One Last Beer in Grade 7 on September 26. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Was out of the placings last time at Healesville but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching four minors in a row. Has to overcome a wide draw and looks safely held.
