RUCKMAN (4) placed in a Grade 5 when a 3 length third this course and distance last time in a personal Best Time (21.98) and also clocked one of the quickest times on the card. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. STARSHIP ATLAS (2) box seated before sticking on well to finish 1.5 lengths away in second (22.28) at this track in a Grade 5 over 390m. Must be included in calculations. JILL'S FANTASY (7) skirted wide from an outside draw last start and found the front, leading throughout to win (23.11) at Horsham in a Grade 5 over 410m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Sure to be thereabouts. PAW LINDEN (1) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 3 length third at this track but did record a head turning 21.98 over the 390m journey. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 390m at Warrnambool in a handy (22.43), beating Super Symon. Will find this a bit tougher, in form but prefer to watch this time.

Scored by 2.5 lengths last time (23.11) in a Grade 5 over 410m at Horsham. Strong record off the draw with three wins and two minors from seven starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (25.66) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Looking to others.
