BLACK WARRIOR (2) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 1.3 lengths (24.09) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. One of the leading chances. VAPORIZE (3) missed the frame last time but had been racing well prior to that, winning a Maiden three back before a placing at Sale the following run. Can feature with the right run. SCOTT ALIFEROUS (1) turned in a moderate effort last time when sixth at Horsham over 485m behind Reiko Bling (28.08) in a Restricted WIN. Shapes as one to consider. BLACK RAIDER (8) must be included in calculations.

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 1.3 lengths second (24.09) at this track. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 460m at Geelong. Would be better placed in something easier.
