DUNACH FIREBALL (1) has a strong record this trip with 11 wins and five placings from 26 starts. Placed last time (23.48) at Horsham in a Free For All, finishing third and beaten 5 lengths. Looks suited here and rates on top. BLACK COMPASS (8) finished well back at this track last time when a 8 length fifth (24.43) but scored four back at Shepparton (22.20). Has the ability to give this a shake. RAPIDFIRE MORRIS (2) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 1.75 lengths behind Pegasus Bale in 24.08 and recording a new PB here. Will be in this for a long way. DON'T TELL SHELL (5) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Looks close to another win after his success on March 24 at Horsham over 410m. Last start was third over 410m in 23.48, behind Stojanovic. Has an exceptional 23.67 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 1.75 lengths second over 425m this track in 24.08. Capable of a strong show.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Horsham over 410m in 23.63. Followed that up with a minor placing over 425m at this track at Grade 5 nine days ago. Happy to risk in this.

Impressive performance to win by 10 lengths at this track over 425m (23.99) beating Tornado Jack in Grade 5 on April 17. In winning form now and looks a major threat.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.25) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a 6 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and four places from 12 starts. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Backs up after winning comfortably by 7 lengths at Shepparton (22.21) beating Distant in a Mix 6/7 on April 14 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.

Was out of placings last time (24.43) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from 12 starts. Looks well placed and should feature.
