INDI BEAR (5) latest effort finished 7th in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win on February 23 over 350m at this track behind Aston Nijinsky beaten 6 lengths (20.20). Can find winning form. MT. VIEW RUPEE (1) failed to feature last start after losing his position early at this track, but prior to that won by 1.4 lengths at this track (19.88) beating Hit The Button in a T3 RSTW on February 20. Bold showing expected. DARRA MICK (4) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 3rd at this track over 350m. Bold showing expected. DANCING BLUE (2) warrants respect following a recent placing.

Won two starts back over 350m at this track. Last start he finished last on February 27 over 350m at this track behind Mexican Jack beaten 4.5 lengths (20.12) in a T3 RSTW. Draw likely to suit. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (23.12) over 400m at Geelong. Has a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.
