Stake: $820

STRADBALLY MAC (4) ran a flying 28.88 when winning over 500m at this track last start. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. BURGESS BONO (1) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 0.6 lengths, in an A1 at this track over 500m (29.07). Easier here and no surprise to see him back in form. SOME HIKER (5) boasts a strong record this journey with three wins and three minors from eight tries. Hit the frame latest (29.54) when third at this track in an A2. Looks a key chance on best form. GRANTSTOWN VAL (2) had the drop on the pace early but forged to the lead on the bend and drew clear to score (29.28) at this track in an A3 over 500m. Leading player again.

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in an A3 by 1.5 len at this track over 500m (29.28). Has run blistering time here with a 29.2 PB at the distance. Must include if he recaptures that form.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 500m in an A2 at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.
