LIKE A ROCK (2) posted a handy 29.46 winning over 515m at this track last start in a R/A FIN. Hard to top on the time from last start. FAST KNOCKDOWN (1) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (29.96) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Can find the frame this time. READY ONE (6) doesn't show much early dash but winds into his races and is overdue, hitting the line hard to place latest (29.65) in a Grade 5 at this track and making it three minors in a row. Expecting another good run. OKLAHOMA BALE (8) was in the money last start and likely to feature again.

Was out of placings last time (29.96) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Has three wins and six placings from 11 starts from the draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 29.46 with a 0.01 length win at this track over 515m. Should be prominent.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when second (30.17) over 515m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Others preferred.

Latest effort finished 2nd over 515m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (29.65) behind Lektra Beta in a Grade 5 on March 12. Racing well and deserves a win.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 2.25 lengths second (23.28) over 410m at Horsham. Solid showing expected.
