HIS SPECIAL (6) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 4 lengths at this track in a handy 30.41 beating Spicy Seduction. Well placed and can measure up. GORRINGE (3) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing sixth (30.84) at this track in a Grade 5 FIN. Can feature with the right run. SURF'S UP (2) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 2.25 lengths (30.77) at this track. Form here at the trip sound including four wins. Cannot be taken lightly. LOCO KADE (4) will be hard to beat with a drop in journey.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (37.79) over 650m at Shepparton. Boxed the fence this time. Looks tested in this line-up.

Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 FIN on September 12 over 525m at this track behind Aston Aquitaine beaten 12 lengths (30.84). Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Missed the frame latest (35.86) when eighth over 600m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

In hot form winning his last three on end, the latest pinging the lids with a fast early split and clocking 30.41 over 525m at this track. Flying lately and can score again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Shepparton over 450m in 25.59. Followed that up with a minor placing over 500m at Bendigo at Bottom Up - Grade 5 a week ago. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
