DIOGO KEEPING (8) scorched around 395m in 22.21 when winning a Grade 6 at Murray Bridge last start. Hot win latest and looks the one to beat again. ATTENTION SEEKER (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and two minors from seven tries. Recorded a 3 length win (19.44) in a Grade 6 last time at Angle Park. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. MR. OBERON (5) boasts a consistent overall record including 16 wins from 40 starts, but missed the frame latest when sixth (18.08) over 305m at Mt Gambier. Has never missed the frame here at the trip from three starts. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. VELARIS (4) is worth including after a top-three finish most recently.

Comments

Did a good job two starts back at Mt Gambier to win by 0.8 lengths in 17.59, beating Dell Mister. Last start finished last in a Grade 3/4/5 on February 22 over 305m at Mt Gambier behind Lie To Me beaten 6 lengths (18.08). Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.
