KNOCKOUT NORM (3) was a course and distance placegetter (29.94) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 3.5 lengths second in a Grade 5. Looks the one to beat on best. INSTANT OFFER (4) charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (29.61) over 515m at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Expecting another bold showing. ALWAYS THE SUN (1) was a decent 25.84 winner of a Mix 6/7 at Geelong last start. Harder here but expected to feature again. PAW TIKA (2) comes into calculations after placing most recently.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 25.84 with a 2 length win at Geelong over 460m. Looks well placed and can measure up again.

Showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when a 3 length third over 525m The Meadows in 30.42. Boxed on well last time to hit the frame. Rates highly again.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 2.5 lengths over 515m at this track (29.61). The last win was in one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.
