ASTON MONSOON (7) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at Healesville following on from a third place finish (22.69) at this track the start prior. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Should be very hard to beat this time. MOLLY MCKAYLA (8) was sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 5.5 lengths third (22.28) over 390m at Warrnambool. Expecting another good run. SMILING LILY (2) skirted wide from an outside draw and found the front, leading until late when second (22.53) at Shepparton in a Grade 4/5 over 390m. Winning chance. NACHO PROBLEM (4) will give backers a sight.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (22.53) at Shepparton over 390m. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Was out of placings last time (20.35) at Traralgon in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Has ability and should be around the money.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd on April 27 over 390m at Ballarat behind Aston Pluto beaten 2.75 lengths (22.47) in a Grade 5. Looks a solid contender.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by half a length at Bendigo (24.41) beating Vintage King in a Grade 5 on April 2. Happy to risk in this.

Last start finished last on April 26 over 300m at Healesville behind Mini Milky beaten 6 lengths (17.01) in a Grade 5. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (22.28) at Warrnambool over 390m. Should be right in the finish.
