RUXTON FLAME (1) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished second (24.06) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Has a good record at this journey. One of the contenders. BLACKJACK BOB (3) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 2.25 lengths back in third (24.13) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 407m. Winning chance. RANGER BEACH (6) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (24.46) last time in a Grade 3/4 at this track. Has a good record here including 16 wins. Worth another chance. HARA'S FONZIE (4) won last start after racing on the pace. Sure to run well again.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Aided by a low draw but looks tested this line up.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (24.13) over 407m at this track. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 407m at this track in a handy (23.88), beating Ripper Art. In form and expected to run well again.

Form has been strong with wins two and three starts back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 4/5 on December 17 over 407m at this track behind Can't Touch Me beaten 3.5 lengths (24.15). No easier here so may struggle.
