SAVE ME GARY (2) generally flies the lids but last time was always well back and ran below best, finishing eighth (26.67) in a Grade 5 H at Warrnambool. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Better than last start and worth following up. KENSINGTON FLYER (1) was among the minors three back at Bendigo then missed the frame the last two, but drawn box 1 this time where he has four wins. Can feature with the right run. CHOW MEIN (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and two minors from nine tries. Below best last time at this track (23.14) in a Grade 5, finishing a 12 length eighth. Suited here and expected to run well. EVERGLOW (7) can run a bold race on best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.78) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length eighth. Has four successes and five minors from 16 starts from box 1. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Was out of placings last time when eighth (26.67) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5 H. Will jump from box 2 for the first time. Looks a key chance on best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.47) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length sixth. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Looks one of the chances.
