GO FLASH GO (7) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his exceptional win the start prior, getting around Healesville over 350m in 19.17. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back. RUPEE STAR (4) charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (22.14) over 390m at Shepparton. Expecting another bold showing. SCOTT THE POP (5) ran a slick 22.27 despite finishing fourth over 390m at Shepparton last start. This tougher but looks a leading chance. SIT AND STEER (1) cannot be left out over a shorter journey.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (22.27) at Shepparton over 390m. Has ability and worth including.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a one length second (25.23) over 450m at Shepparton. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
