SUPER STORM (1) has been out of the placings at his last two starts but prior to that posted a superb 22.32 win over 400m at this track. Can return to winning form here if runs up to best figures. DESPICABLE KYRO (2) has an excellent record here having never missed the placings in five starts, including two wins and three placings. Hit the frame latest (25.44) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Makes strong appeal on best. BEAR'S HEAD (4) recorded his Best Time this course and distance when a 22.40 winner of a Grade 5 in one of the quickest wins on the program. Bold showing expected again. CESSNOCK CURTAIN (5) will give backers a sight.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 400m at this track in a handy (22.57), beating History's Coming. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to tip with any confidence.
