YUKON (3) ran below best last time finishing seventh (26.64) over 450m at Shepparton in a Maiden FIN. Won at his only start from this draw. Should be very hard to beat this time. AUTUMN POPPY (2) ran below best last time finishing eighth (23.56) over 400m at Geelong in a Restricted WIN H. Should be thereabouts. KEN KANEKI (8) ran one of the quickest times of the card latest with an impressive 12 lengths win (22.27) at Geelong. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Should be in this for a long way. BASH BOY GIBLET (1) collected a minor prize last start and must be considered.

Showing promise and was a winner three back. Last start missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths seventh (24.25) at Bendigo. Capable and may well bounce back this time.
