SWEET LOVE (2) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from six tries. Missed the frame latest (26.11) when sixth over 450m at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5. Looks a leading chance on best. ROSCOE BALE (1) has a strong overall record having eight wins and 17 places from 37 starts including a last start third (24.24) over 425m at this track. Looks suited and expected to run well. PAW RIVAL (4) hit the ground running and on speed early but faded out of it to finish 5th (28.85) at this track over 500m. Shapes as one to consider. REVENGE SPECKLE (8) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on May 23 over 500m at this track behind Told You Tim beaten 2.75 lengths (28.39). Hard to envisage a win.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 1.5 lengths in 24.35, beating Break In. Last start finished 4th over 425m at this track beaten 7 lengths (24.75) behind Zorbas Bale in a Grade 5 on June 13. Safely held last time and looking to others.

Eye-catching performance to score by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Wagga, recording a swift 18.38 over the 320m journey. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.75) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 13 length fifth. Has one success and three minors from six starts from box 8. Suited here and expected to run well.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
