FRACTIONS (3) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his lightning win three back, getting around The Meadows over 525m in 29.58. Smart win three back and looks a key chance here. REPEAT THE SAME (1) recorded his 2nd career win last time at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths (29.54). Won at his only start from this box. Sure to measure up. BLUE STORM (8) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (29.46) last time out at this track. Bold showing expected. UNCHECKED (2) is a last-start placegetter after leading early on – sure to have admirers.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 6 length third over 460m at Geelong, clocking 25.89. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.

Finished in the placings last time but the run prior he was a strong winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by 1.3 lengths in a Restricted WIN H at Geelong and recording a handy 25.79 over the 460m journey. Expected to push the clock again here.
