CRUSH YOUR RUSH (2) hit the frame last time at Healesville but the start prior rocketed around 390m at Shepparton in 22.13. Rates on top and can find winning form again. FINESSE (6) skirted wide from an outside draw last start and found the front, leading throughout to win (22.25) at Shepparton in a Grade 5 over 390m. Sure to be thereabouts. KID BLUE (3) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 0.9 lengths (23.17) at Geelong. Can measure up. HOPE JUAN (1) is one of the chances after a minor prize at this track and distance last time.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 23.17 over 400m at Geelong. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.
