POP POP BANG (1) hit the ground running and never headed to claim a maiden victory two back then finished a 10 length sixth last start at Ballarat over 390m (22.68). Drawn well from box 1. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. ASTON HARUTO (6) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (22.69) in a Grade 6 at Ballarat. Key runner on best form. EAGLE TEGAN (7) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (22.94) last time in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win at Ballarat. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. AMONG STARS (2) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Latest effort finished 6th over 390m at Ballarat beaten 10 lengths (22.68) behind Shallow Sally in a Grade 7 on February 10. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 1.75 lengths fourth (22.60) over 390m at Shepparton. Can't make much of a case this time.
