RANSOM (2) was below best at his last start when 8th at this track following a second place finish (24.17) there two back. Should bounce back. RIPPER RUFUS (1) had a low draw latest where he found trouble and fell over 450m at Shepparton. Has the ability and can atone with the right run. KNIFE EDGE (5) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing sixth (24.78) at this track in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Expected to do much better this time. HOLLY BLUE GIRL (8) will give backers a sight.
