ZERO KILLER (5) broke a string of placings finishing in the money three on end before a last start fifth (23.25) at this track. Should bounce back. SPECIAL PLAYERS (1) was safely held in tougher company last start at Ballarat, but prior to that won by 3 lengths at Ballarat (22.81) beating Salmon Spray in a Grade 5 on June 23. Worth following up. NEW LINE (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (23.21) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Bold showing expected. ASTON YAMATO (6) is always a threat when he races at this journey.

Missed the frame latest (22.85) when fifth over 390m at Ballarat in a Grade 5. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Missed the frame latest (23.21) when fourth over 400m at this track in a Grade 5. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from seven starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when third (22.99) at big odds over 400m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Solid top-three prospects.

Was out of placings last time (23.25) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. Looks a leading chance.

Most recent effort finished last over 425m at Bendigo beaten 14 lengths (25.00) behind Sweet Love in a Grade 5 on June 27. Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.
