Stake: $3,730

THORKILDSEN (7) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 435m behind Chasing Hearts (25.59) in a Grade 5. Was a winner prior to that. Comes through a solid form race last start. Should be very hard to beat this time. PROMISES TO BE (8) took advantage of the inside draw with an all-the-way win last start (24.46) at this track in a Grade 5 NP over 435m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. DR. ZEEKA (1) was never in contention last time at this track, but prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (37.19) beating Reality Pie in a Restricted WIN on February 16. Great chance to atone.

Missed the frame latest (30.07) when seventh over 510m at this track in a Grade 5. Strong record off the draw with two wins and two minors from five starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Comments

Found the going tougher last start when second over 435m at this track. That followed a win two back in 22.71 beating Galloping Jimmy over 400m at Warragul. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by half a length at this track over 435m (24.55) beating Georgie Bale in Grade 5 on March 2. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Warragul over 400m. Last start finished 7th over 435m at this track beaten 10 lengths (25.59) behind Chasing Hearts in a Grade 5 on February 28. Excellent record from this draw, including three wins. Go well.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 NP last start at this track, recording a slick 24.46 over the 435m journey. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time.
