RUSHFORTH BAZ (1) has been in the money at his last two runs, most recently when third (26.07) in a Grade 5 over 450m at this track. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. GOLDSTAR KLEIN (2) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 450m behind Hear The Crow (25.59) in a Grade 5. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Great chance to atone. ZIPPY TIPPY (6) has been without a win for a while, the latest jumping from an outside draw when fourth (25.78) at this track in a Grade 5. One of the main contenders. YATHONG TIGER (8) placed last start and is in the mix again.
