Good form should continue. ASTON DUNKEL (8) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 390m behind Frequency (23.08) in a Grade 5. Placed at his previous run. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Has ability and is one of the better chances. BUSH JEWEL (5) was in winning form two back (22.92) at Geelong but ran below best last time at this track, finishing 6th. Key player if finds best. PAW HULL (2) put a gap on her rivals last start. Sure to run well again.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (23.31) over 400m at Geelong. Nicely drawn on the inside but will need everything to go her way.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.3 lengths at Warrnambool over 390m (22.73) beating Mana's Way in Grade 5 on March 30. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Latest effort finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on March 30 over 390m at this track behind Frequency beaten 3.5 lengths (22.68). Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at this track. Looking to others this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.08) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length sixth. Has two wins and two placings from eight starts from the draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
