BE GRITTY (1) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on her dazzling win the start prior, getting around this track over 300m in 16.46. Smart win two back and looks a key chance here. ASTON LYON (8) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with four wins and a placing from eight tries. Scored by one length last time (19.31) in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Can hit the frame with the right run. CACO MISSILE (6) could manage only fifth at Shepparton last time but impressed when posting an excellent 19.12 over 350m at this track the start prior. Should be in this for a long way. MAJOR ILLUSION (2) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Missed the frame latest (30.40) when sixth over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two places from four starts. Looks well placed and should feature.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (16.85) over 300m at this track. Draws an inside box and is in the mix.

Hit the frame at Warragul last time when a 3.5 lengths third but did record a respectable 22.66 over the 400m journey. Harder here and one for the multiples.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.3 lengths in 19.31, beating Test Drive. Last start finished 6th over 350m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (19.58) behind Aston Lyon in a Grade 5 on February 22. Can't recommend in this field.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (19.41), beating Suave. Will find this a bit tougher, can't recommend against this lot.

Lines up chasing another win after scoring over 350m at this track in 19.31, set up by a fast early sectional. Looks well placed and can measure up again.
