MEPUNGA PHANTOM (4) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at this track, scoring by 7 lengths (29.39). Can continue the winning form. SO HE THINKS (7) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (31.36) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Horsham. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. MIDNIGHT PHANTOM (1) shapes well after a decent run last time, finishing third in a Restricted WIN H at Bendigo in 37.90. In form and must include in calculations. STITCH AND SHOUT (5) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Hit the frame at Bendigo last time when a 3.5 lengths third but did record a slick 37.90 over the 660m trip. Among the each way chances if runs up to latest.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 545m at Ballarat in a handy (31.71), beating She Reacts. Will find this a bit tougher, others preferred on this occasion.

After failing to finish two starts back he came out and won easily by 7 lengths at this track (29.39) beating Creating in a Mix 6/7 on June 8. Key chance on that latest effort.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (34.98) at this track over 595m. Has the ability to be in the finish.

Missed the frame latest (31.36) when fourth over 545m at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5. Has never missed the placings from three starts off this box. Looks well placed and should feature.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 595m in 35.13. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 515m at this track at Grade 5 level. Better off looking to others.
