WALTER WALRUS (6) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (25.58) at this track behind Shiny Ink in a Grade 4/5. Has the pace to be prominent. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. One of the leading chances. RIPPER RILEY (8) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (25.71) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Well placed here and should do much better. SONIC TROOPER (2) stalked the lead but wound up strongly to score (22.38) at this track in Grade 5 over 390m. Significant danger. KRAKEN MISSILES (1) is always hard to beat when drawn in this box.

Looks close to another win after her success on May 15 at this track over 450m. Last start was fourth over 390m in 22.51, behind Bingo Dash. Capable of a good showing.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to win by 1.1 lengths at this track over 390m (22.38) beating Silver Machine in Grade 5 on July 5. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Did a good job two starts back at Bendigo to win by 4 lengths in 24.13, beating Sam's Universe. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on July 7 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Blazing Riot beaten 8 lengths (26.13). Safely held last time and looking to others.

Was out of placings last time (25.70) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Suited here and expected to run well.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 450m at this track. That followed a win two back in 28.50 beating Gold Venom over 500m at Bendigo. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (25.78) at this track over 450m. Has the ability to be in the finish.
