DEVIL'S SYMPATHY (3) stalked the lead then burst clear to score (25.82) at this track in a Grade 5 over 460m. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. One of the key runners again. ASTON RAYNER (6) is a progressive type who recorded his 9th career win last time out (30.02) at The Meadows. Strike rate this course strong having won four of six tries. Deserves serious consideration again. MORNING BOSS (8) hit the frame latest (29.48) when third at Sandown in a Free For All. Has two wins already from this draw. Can feature with the right run. TIM ZOO (2) recorded a 2.75 lengths win (29.41) in a Grade 5 last time at Sandown. Has six wins already from this draw.

Safely held last time over 525m at The Meadows but was a 3 length winner two back over 515m at Sandown. Likely to struggle this time.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Sandown over 515m in 29.41 last start, beating Cleo's Star. Goes very well from this draw including six wins. Solid prospects.

Effortless winner showing plenty of speed to score by 7 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Ballarat, clocking a brilliant 24.82 for the 450m trip. Harder here but will be in this for a long way.

Hit the frame last time at Sandown but the start prior was a strong winner scoring by 2 lengths in a Grade 5 at Sandown. Top win two back and has claims here.
