GUNAI WIZARD (5) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (22.74) at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Looks the one to beat on his best form. LIGHTNING RANGE (2) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (22.47) at this track. Solid record here winning three races. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Winning chance. SOLICIT (1) was out of placings last time (19.25) at Healesville in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths. Has three wins already from this draw. Looks a key chance on best figures. QILIN BALE (3) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow sixth (19.25) over 350m at Healesville. Form from this box is very strong, including three wins. Hard to beat.

Narrowly beaten last time at this track when only a nose from the winner but did record a hot 22.47 for the 400m trip. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 400m at this track in a handy (22.66), beating Sarsaparilla Kid. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.74) in a Free For All, finishing a 4 length fourth. Box stats strong with three wins and three placings from seven starts. Looks a leading chance.

Good performance to win by 1.3 lengths at Ballarat over 390m (22.48) beating Tipsy Turtle in Grade 5 on September 15. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing second (25.65) at Ballarat. Jumps from a wide draw. Cannot be ruled out.
