HOKKAIDO EXPRESS (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.70) last time in a Grade 5 H at this track. Cannot be left out. GAMORA BALE (1) clocked a dynamic 23.77 win last time. Not to be underestimated. BERNARDO BLUE (8) followed a minor placing at Ballarat two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 1.3 lengths, last start in a Grade 4/5 at Shepparton over 450m (25.50). Expected to measure up.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 410m at Horsham in a handy (23.42), beating Agent Twenty One. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to have this time.

Latest effort finished 4th on October 9 over 400m at this track behind Flagman Franky beaten 6 lengths (22.70) in a Grade 5 H. Missed the frame last time but prior to that had three placings in a row. Deserves another chance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Sale over 435m in 24.57. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 400m at Warragul at Free For All level. Happy enough to avoid.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 1.3 lengths third (25.50) over 450m at Shepparton and making it two placings on end. Capable of improvement.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 400m at this track. Hard to have this time.
