ASTON SHEKEL (6) broke well and quickly mustered speed to win over the 400m at Geelong two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing second at this track last start. Can go on with it. GUITAR TANGO (1) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when second (23.74) in a Grade 5 at this track. Expected to do much better this time. LOUIE CABANG (8) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (23.74) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Form from his last run is proving strong. Can measure up this time. PAW VERITY (7) was strongly fancied but finished third last time (23.62) at this track, bringing a two-run winning streak to an end.

Was out of placings last time (23.97) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 11 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Key chance and should go close.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (23.06) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length seventh. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Geelong over 400m. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on April 28 over 410m at this track behind Paw Lampades beaten 5 lengths (23.51). Racing well and can find winning form again.

Won two starts back at Warragul over 400m in 22.96. Followed that up with a minor placing over 410m at this track at Grade 5 a week ago. Has been racing well enough. Among the chances.
