GUNAI NUGGET (2) goes very well at the course and distance with three wins and a placing from five starts. Missed the frame latest (24.32) when fifth over 425m at Bendigo in a Special conditions H. Looks suited and should go close. TOUCH OF SIN (4) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. Missed the frame latest (26.30) when seventh over 460m at Warragul in a Grade 5. Looks suited here and can measure up. CHEMICAL EROSION (6) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 3 lengths at Healesville in a handy 16.63 beating Easily Amused. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. RAM RAID (3) is not to be discarded.

Was a winner three back at Horsham then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when seventh (26.30) at Warragul. Best figures puts her right in this and well worth another chance.

Lines up chasing another win after scoring over 300m at Healesville in 16.63, set up by a fast early sectional. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Was out of placings last time (22.74) at Ballarat in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from six starts. Will need some luck to feature.
