ARCHIE'S GIFT (6) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 3.5 lengths at Geelong in a handy 22.62 beating Paw Enna. The hardest to beat again. WEARING LEVIS (3) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Sale behind Akina Dash (24.87) in a Special conditions H. Has the pace to be prominent. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Hard to beat again. RHINE STAR (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (23.41) in a Grade 5 at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. WARRIOR TOMMY (2) should be thereabouts.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by 3.5 lengths in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 last start at Geelong, recording a decent 22.62 over the 400m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Won two starts back at Healesville over 300m in 16.64. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 350m at Healesville at Restricted WIN level. Not suited by wide draw, this will test.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, be tough to make an impression against this lot.
