ARMATREE PESTO (2) hit the frame latest (23.60) when third at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has already won two times from this draw. Expected to go close. MAKO MERV (8) should enjoy clear running from the outside box. Below best latest at this track (23.69) when 6th and beaten 3.5 lengths. Form here at this distance is strong including one wins. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Leading chance. ARMATREE PASTA (4) was out of placings last time (23.68) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Already a winner from this draw. Can feature in the finish. HYBRID EVE (1) surprised many when in the placings last start - deserves some thought.

Charged out of the boxes last time with a fast early sectional but swallowed up late, finishing fifth (23.68) at this track and bringing a two run winning streak to an end. Looks a strong winning hope.
