MOOKAITE (3) missed the frame last time at Ballarat but the start prior rocketed around 350m at Healesville in 19.36. Should be in this for a long way. TWILIGHT TORI (2) was prominent throughout when an impressive winner two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 4th and beaten 8 lengths at this track (26.22). Should be in this for a long way. HOKKAIDO EXPRESS (1) won by 2.5 lengths last start when getting around Warragul 400m in a convincing 22.62. Top win latest and rates a key player again.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a 2.5 lengths winner (22.62) over 400m at Warragul. Looks the one to beat again.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Healesville over 350m. Last start finished 4th over 390m at Ballarat beaten 6 lengths (22.65) behind Anchor Cranker in a Grade 4/5 on August 21. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 2.25 lengths at Bendigo (23.76) beating Zambada Icon in a Grade 4/5 on August 21. Can't recommend in this field.

Didn't make the placings last time at Healesville (19.94) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length eighth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Others rate better this time.

Latest effort finished last in a Grade 5 on August 17 over 450m at this track behind Canya Talk Now beaten 16 lengths (26.03). Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.
