CUMULATE (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (23.81) at this track over 425m. Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Has a strong record out of this box with four wins and a minor placing from six starts. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. HEAVY HAULAGE (8) has a strong record this journey here with two wins and a minor from four starts. Missed the frame latest (22.75) when eighth over 390m at Warrnambool in a Grade 4/5. Can feature in the finish. SCOTT GREYSCALE (6) was out of the placings last time when seventh at Healesville (17.04) but did record second best time of the card when winning four back. Has a good record here at this journey. Should be in this for a long way. SWEET LOVE (7) has a solid strike rate at this distance.

Rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (23.81) at this track over 425m. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length fifth (22.66) over 390m at Shepparton. Racing well and has to be included.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 425m in 23.96 last start, beating Lady Gunai. Can make it back to back wins.

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 425m at this track in a handy (24.11), beating Paw Natullo. Will find this a bit tougher, good win last start but looks tested in this difficult assignment.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 390m Shepparton in 22.64. Has a solid record from this draw including three wins. Among the chances.
