MAURITIAN LUCAS (1) was below best at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth at Ballarat, but was among the placings at Ballarat three back. Has the ability and expected to go close. COMEBACK CHARLIE (7) has been out of the placings the last couple but was a Grade 4/5 winner (23.02) three back at this track. Can find the frame this time. CALL IT FATE (2) turned in a moderate run last time when fifth at Ballarat over 390m behind Ascend Igloo (22.72) in a Grade 5. Expected to feature in the finish.

Did a good job two starts back at Bendigo to win by one length in 24.41, beating Thermal Spark. Last start finished 6th in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 on January 12 over 460m at this track behind Nighttime beaten 7 lengths (26.66). Others have better credentials.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing fourth (24.73) at Bendigo before going for a three-and-a-half months spell. Looks a danger to the top hope.

Comments

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished 4th over 410m at Horsham beaten 7 lengths (24.11) behind Fawn Beast in a Grade 5 on April 21. Looks a solid contender.
