MEAL TICKET (2) was below best at her last start when 8th at this track following a second place finish (22.68) there two back. Has ability and can bounce back. BLOW TORCH (8) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing second (22.78) at this track. Solid record here winning two races. Can feature again. HULK KING HAMMER (1) was a winner (22.89) at this track two back but out of the placings last time when 7th at Warragul. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings six times from nine starts. Should be about the money. HOT SAKI (5) did a good job to finish second last time out over 390m at Warrnambool (22.22) in a Grade 4/5, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 400m at Warragul. That followed a win two back in 25.80 beating Had A Mischief over 450m at Ballarat. This looks too tough.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
