DISTORTED HUMOUR (3) flew the lids off the inside draw with a fast early split and gave a sight, finishing a 2.5 lengths third (17.14) over 300m at Healesville. Can find winning form. JACK HOOK (8) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at this track over 350m (20.68). Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to his credit. Better than last start and can bounce back. MY BOY SONNY (1) has missed the placings at his last couple but was in the money three back when second (23.21) at Geelong in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Expected to bounce back to best. PAW KIPLIN (5) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Returns from a four-and-a-half months spell after being tipped out on the back of a seventh (23.05) over 390m at Ballarat. Looks one of the better hopes in the race.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 2.5 lengths third (17.14) over 300m at Healesville. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 350m at this track. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Hit the frame latest (22.82) when second at Warrnambool in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed eight times. Suited here and expected to run well.
