GOOSEBUMPS RICO (4) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Grade 5 at Bendigo. Likely to improve sharply this time. CRACKERJACK GREG (3) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (25.94) in a Grade 5 at this track. Must be included in calculations. REV KEN (7) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 400m at Warragul in a handy (23.30), beating Little Thief. Will find this a bit tougher, doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (26.31) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing a 12 length seventh. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Leading chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 450m at Warrnambool. Not up to this.
