LINDENOW BUSTER (1) has been impressive at his past couple of wins, the best coming last time at Warragul in 25.69. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. In great form and can continue his winning ways. FLYING DUCATI (3) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Grade 5 FIN win two back (29.33) at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. FAST FREDDY (7) clocked a speedy 24.35 when filling a minor placing over 435m at Sale last start. In form and looks a leading player again. MIGHTY SCAR (2) must be among the chances on the last run here.

Strong performance to score by 5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Warragul, clocking an outstanding 25.69 for the 460m trip. Hard to top on that run.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 515m. Last start finished 7th over 515m at this track beaten 17 lengths (30.49) behind Hot Nanu in a Grade 4 on April 23. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when third (30.01) at big odds over 525m at The Meadows. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Will need plenty of luck.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest at big odds finishing second (30.20) at The Meadows. Squeeze draw to overcome. Has to do a bit more.

Placed last time (24.35) at Sale in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten a head. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and two places from five starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
