BLACK SANDS (1) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten a head into second (22.55) at this track in a Rank Limit - Maiden over 390m. Sure to be about the mark. BLACKPOOL EXTRA (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (23.11) last time in a Maiden at Geelong. One of the main contenders. ASTON TAURUS (4) is yet to break through in 15 starts but has run a number of placings. Finished in the minors last start but did run very good time (22.77). Comes out of a solid form race last start. Can measure up. ENORMOUS (2) is a newcomer from the Stephen Brincat kennel. Drawn favourably and can capitalise. Betting to provide the best guide to his chances.

Well bred debutante by Aussie Infrared from Zadie. He looks suitably boxed. Should be around the mark.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 2.75 lengths second (22.77) over 400m at Geelong. Solid showing expected.

Comments

Moderately away on debut last start and was never in contention when seventh at Geelong over 400m in 23.67. Prepared to risk.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.25 lengths sixth (23.78) over 410m at Horsham. Better off looking to others.

Placed only run here over this trip. Latest effort finished 4th on October 30 over 400m at Geelong behind Canya Blitz beaten 13 lengths (23.11) in a Maiden. Expected to go very well.
