NO MORE EXTRAS (4) was a Bottom Up - Grade 5 winner two back then out of the placings latest at The Meadows but moves to Box 4 this time where he has performed well. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. GO PIKACHU (7) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Geelong behind Fancy Faye (22.99) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Can feature again. ASTON HAMILTON (5) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at Warrnambool over 450m behind Zambora Bliss (25.92) in a Grade 5. Key player if finds best. GOLD STRIPES (2) is another with top-three prospects.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when second (26.05) over 450m at Warrnambool. Aided by a low draw and is among the better hopes.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Warrnambool over 450m. Last start finished 4th over 525m at The Meadows beaten 10 lengths (30.98) behind Bounding Chief in a Grade 5 on March 4. Should prove hard to beat.
