FLED THE SCENE (2) flew the lids with a slick early split last time and went on to clock 30.20 as a strongly fancied winner over 525m at this track. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. VITAL STEP (1) missed the frame last time at Sandown but just three runs back flew around 525m at this track in 30.03. Should be in this for a long way. PAW FREDRICK (4) produced an excellent 25.78 when winning over 460m at Warragul last start. Harder here but expected to measure up. COPPER RUSH (7) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.17) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fourth. Has never missed the frame from three starts from the draw, including a win. Has ability and should feature.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 525m in 30.20 last start, beating Michalis. Can make it two on the bounce.

Finished third at big odds last time (28.74) over 500m at Bendigo. Has a low draw. Looks to have the job ahead.

After failing to finish two starts back he came out and won by 1.3 lengths at Warragul (25.78) beating Paw Leon in a Grade 4/5 on June 17. Looks a solid hope.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 595m at Sandown in a handy (34.56), beating Rattle And Bang. Will find this a bit tougher, can't recommend against this lot.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (34.89) over 600m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and prefer each-way.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd on June 16 over 595m at Sandown behind Queen Kimetto beaten 1.3 lengths (34.57) in a Grade 4/5. Looks up against it this time.
