SWEET I AM (7) stuck on well last time to finish a neck back in second (22.67) at this track in a Grade 5 over 390m. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Leading chance again. BLUE BOY SHIRAZ (3) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Ascend Hibiscus (22.30) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expecting another good run. BIG COOL (1) was an upset winner last time when scoring at big odds in a T3 RSTW at this track (22.48). Form here at this distance is sound. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. STORM SHADOW (6) returns from a 11 weeks layoff with top-three prospects.

Solid performance to win by 2.25 lengths at this track over 390m (22.48) beating Ronaldo Jack in T3 RSTW on October 8. Looks a solid contender.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won by 2 lengths at Geelong (22.83) beating Snapper Head in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win on September 29. Better off looking to others.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.5 lengths in 22.12, beating Gunai Gaga. Last start finished 6th in a Restricted WIN on July 27 over 390m at this track behind Gunai Gaga beaten 9 lengths (22.84). Some good form emerging from that last run. Among the chances.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.67 over 390m at this track. Has run blistering time here with a 22.02 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.
