POWER SQUEEZE (8) had been racing in honest fashion recording three placings in a row before finishing fourth (42.05) at this track latest. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. IN BLOOM (2) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Lakeview Hunter (42.00) in a Grade 4/5. Led around the bend before fighting on well and should give a sight. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Winning chance. FLYING PROUD (7) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 3.5 lengths behind Lakeview Hunter in 42.16 and recording a new PB here. Top run latest and rates a key player again. LAMIA TAYA (1) is a last-start placegetter and ran good time - in the mix again.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 1.4 lengths second (42.00) over 715m at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest at big odds finishing third (38.06) at Bendigo. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Will need plenty of luck.
