TOMMY MARRA (1) took advantage of the inside draw with an all-the-way win last start (25.79) at Shepparton in a Grade 5 over 450m. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Ideally placed to take this out. SHALLOW SALLY (4) hit the ground running from out wide and was on speed early but swamped late when 6th at Warrnambool in a Grade 5. Warrants plenty of respect. FIRE TEARS (2) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at The Meadows over 525m behind Heathcote Rupee (31.13) in a Grade 5. Should be in this for a long way. GOOD ODDS ROCKY (8) can find the frame without surprising.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Sale over 435m in 24.45 last start, beating Mackenzie Rose. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow sixth (25.91) over 450m at Warrnambool. Forward showing expected.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (25.59) over 450m at Warrnambool. Awkwardly drawn but is worth plenty of thought.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 390m at this track in a handy (22.33), beating Aston Pastizzi. Will find this a bit tougher, cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Comments

Was out of the placings last time at Sale but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need everything to go his way.
