KIWI FRED (6) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 5th (25.76) at this track. Has winning claims on his best figures. GAMORA BALE (1) is a consistent type who is having her first look at course. Had the inside and was too good last time scoring by 1.1 lengths at Bendigo over 425m (24.05). Bold showing expected again. FUNKY KONG (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.46) last time in a Mix 6/7 at Warrnambool. Can figure in the finish. QUEST FOR BUZZ (8) can sneak into the finish.

Good effort to score just five days ago over 425m at Bendigo by 1.1 lengths in a Maiden. Looks the one to beat again.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Geelong over 460m. Last start finished last on June 16 over 460m at Geelong behind Mepunga Spirit beaten 13 lengths (26.63) in a Mix 6/7. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
