RATTLER (4) has been out of the placings at his last two outings but shapes well for this if he can recapture his excellent win a few runs back, getting around Shepparton over 450m in 25.18. Should be in this for a long way. BOUNDING CHIEF (3) chased the lead early from the inside and boxed on well to finish second, beaten a nose (30.60) at The Meadows in a Grade 5 over 525m. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from seven starts. Bold showing expected. LES NORTON (6) was below best last time when fifth at Warrnambool but prior to that among the placings in quick time (28.46) at this track. Expected to do much better this time. WINNING RATIO (1) cannot be dismissed although new to this venue.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a neck second (34.98) over 595m at Sandown. Should be around the mark.

Comes off a (24.45) win last time, scoring by 1.3 lengths in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 over 425m at this track. Has two successes and two minors from eight starts from box 7. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (26.05) over 460m at Geelong. Tough draw to overcome and will need to find best.
