HIGHLY CONNECTED (1) rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (30.38) at this track over 525m. Boasts a strong record from this draw with four wins and five minor placings from 10 starts. Expected to feature in the finish again. SHARAPOVA STAR (8) goes very well this course and distance starting 20 times for eight wins and six minors. Missed the frame latest (24.37) when eighth over 425m at Bendigo in a Group Listed. Makes strong appeal on best. PAW ZURI (7) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing second (30.21) at this track in a Free For All over 525m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Expecting another good run. RALPH WIGGUM (3) is a last start winner who rates one of the chances again.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (25.41) over 460m at Geelong. Drawn out wide and looks tested this line up.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 30.21 over 525m at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.

Missed the frame last start when eighth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning three on end before placing two back. Rates strongly and can return to winning form.
