REAPER (6) has a strong overall record having seven wins and six places from 18 starts but was out of the money last time when fourth (25.35) over 450m at Ballarat. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Expected to feature in the finish. WHATEVER TESS (1) turned in a solid run last start over 515m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 5 lengths (30.01). Has a strong record from box 1, including four wins. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. PAW LARRY (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (30.04) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Likely to play a prominent role. BUN QUAKE (7) is worth consideration.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 525m at The Meadows. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.
