MEPUNGA ZIRCON (7) comes off a big run when second in a useful 33.95 at this track over 595m. Should be in this for a long way. WEBLEC MEMPHIS (6) racing well without winning, placing at his last four runs. Last time finished 3rd on March 12 over 515m at this track behind Mepunga Express beaten 0.7 lengths (29.73) in a Grade 4/5. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Hard to beat again. UNLEASH THE LION (8) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (29.36) in a Grade 5 at Sale. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Cannot be underestimated. POINT BREAK (4) has strong credentials over this journey.

Hit the frame latest (29.73) when third at this track in a Grade 4/5. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior was a strong winner after tracking the speed, scoring by a neck in a Grade 4/5 at this track and clocking an outstanding 34.08 for the 595m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.

Was out of placings last time (29.36) at Sale in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Makes appeal on best.
