CHIVAS CHOICE (1) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 7 lengths at this track in a handy 28.73 beating Footloose. Can continue on with his winning form. COTTON BALL BUZZ (6) produced a moderate run last time when fifth at this track over 498m behind Ground Control (29.39) in a OPEN. Placed at his previous run. Leading chance. NO POWER (2) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at this track over 498m behind Sky By Night (29.52) in a Grade 4/5. Solid formlines coming through his last run. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. VILLAIN OF MAGIC (7) scored a scorching Grade 4/5 win in 28.70 last time. Can measure up again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (29.52) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 12 length eighth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
