MIDNIGHT SMOKE (3) racing well without winning, placing at his last four runs. Last time finished 3rd over 320m at this track beaten 4 lengths (18.52) behind Near Impossible in a Grade 5 on June 12. Likely to feature again. CREEPING TIGER (1) fast out of the inside draw with a slick early sectional and clocking 19.12 in a 2.75 lengths win at Bulli over 340m last time. Has a strong record from box 1, including two wins. Can make it two on the bounce. SILVERTREE SCAR (2) finds it hard to break through. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing second (18.41) at this track. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Winning chance. RUPEE JOE (4) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 350m at Goulburn in a handy (20.37), beating Natsuko. Will find this a bit tougher, needs to find a bit more to test these.
