ESPECIAL KAI (2) has a strong record this track and trip with six wins and six placings from 16 starts.

Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Leading player again. FROZEN WINTER (1) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (16.71) from Box 5 at this track. Must be included in calculations. IDYLLIC JAMES (7) placed at long odds last time and cannot be ignored.

Comments

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 second (22.76) over 400m at Geelong. Has run blistering time here with a 16.55 PB at the distance. Must include if he recaptures that form.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Could pose a serious challenge if finds best this time.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 300m at this track in a handy (16.66), beating Deadly Force. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to overlook.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 at this track and recording a brilliant 16.62 over the 300m journey. Bold showing expected on best.
