BUN UNDERCURRENT (2) doesn't win out of turn. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (26.12) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Rates highly and will give a great sight. JUNGLE FIREBALL (6) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at Geelong in a handy 26.37 beating Elevate. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. BALLANTYNE STAR (4) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 0.8 lengths behind Yaya Sally in 25.80 and recording a new PB here. In form and looks a leading player again. Something for the Multiples: TOMMY MARRA (3)
