LOVE BUG GIBLET (4) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this trip which boasts three wins and two placings. Scored by 5.5 lengths last time (21.90) in a Mix 6/7 over 390m at Warrnambool. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. OPAWA WINTER (1) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at Addington, scoring by a neck (30.91). Rates a leading chance again. STOJANOVIC (7) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (23.15) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Solid record here winning six races. Can do much better this time. STILL BELIEVE (2) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

First look at this trip and drops in distance on last start. That last win was in the quickest time on the card. Stick with her.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at Warragul three back. Needs to find best and prepared to watch this time.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (22.48) over 390m at Warrnambool. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need the breaks to go his way.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 435m at Sale. Likely to find this too tough.
