ARTIFICIAL BLUE (6) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 425m (24.46). Key runner on his best form. HALEIGH VELLA (2) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (22.58) at Shepparton. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Worth following up. MR. HA HA (7) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Ballarat over 450m behind Sakura Ryker (26.43) in a Grade 5. Should be about the mark. LATIN RHYTHM (1) saluted at big odds last time and can measure up again. Something for the Multiples: ASTRONOMICA (3)

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (22.69) over 390m at Ballarat. Tough draw to overcome but is among the better hopes.
