MAV REIKO (2) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only half a length from Sharapova Star in second (29.90) at this track. Expected to feature in the finish again. MEPUNGA BROCKIE (6) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 5.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.89 beating Flat Out Freddy. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. One of main contenders. TRENDY ART (1) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 2.75 lengths at this track in a handy 30.13 beating Paw Helion. Leading player again. FERRET'S KNOCK (7) is another with top-three prospects.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was a strong winner scoring by one length in a Grade 5 at Healesville and clocking a fast 19.35 over the 350m trip. Hard to top on the time from two back.

Backs up after winning by 1.3 lengths at this track (30.24) beating Honest Beers in a Grade 5 on November 15 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at this track (29.93) beating Paw Waverly in a Grade 5 H on November 8. Capable of taking this out.

Comments

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd over 450m at Shepparton beaten 0.8 lengths (25.50) behind Flash Of Genius in a Grade 4/5 on November 17. In the money last time but has the job ahead.
