KING MATTEO (7) placed last time (24.32) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 4.5 lengths. Has already won out of this draw. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. SANDY CABANG (8) missed the frame last time when eighth (24.78) at this track but prior to that had three placings in a row. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. The form out of last race has been strong. Has ability and can atone. HE'S GOT SWAG (4) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (24.36) last time in a Special conditions Veteran race at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Cannot be left out. SHERRY CHERRY (3) is worth consideration.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Mt Gambier over 400m in 23.58. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 400m at Mt Gambier at TG1-4W level. This looks too tough.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 425m at this track. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Did a good job two starts back at Mt Gambier to win by 2.5 lengths in 23.32, beating Rusty Wheels. Last start finished 4th over 400m at Mt Gambier beaten 5.5 lengths (23.54) behind Moonlight Grand in a Other on July 17. Has claims on best form.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (17.04) over 300m at Healesville. Will need plenty of luck.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (24.32) over 425m at this track. In form and can return to the winners' list.

Missed the frame when eighth over 425m at this track in 24.78 fresh. Had been going well prior to a spell. Finds it hard to win. Key chance on best form.
