ITALIAN INFORMANT (1) bolted in three starts back then wasn't far off the winner last time. He's unknown on the dirt but this is the easiest race he's tackled in some time. If he handles the surface, he should win and should win by a margin. Another that looks well placed is LAKEHURST (4). He doesn't win out of turn so perhaps it's best to go each-way. LANCELOTTO (5) keeps racing well and again looks a top three chance. With 4kg off, he can roll forward and take some catching. The best form of SHIKANIC (6) gives him a chance, while WANDERING EYE (2) goes into the quaddie given his recent form.

    Most recently faded in the straight 7th of 13 at Balaklava Bm56 on July 9 over 1050m, slow going 2 len behind Miss Gabbiano with 56kg at $20. The run before that 2nd of 12 at this track 0-52 on June 22 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Wandering Eye with 57.5kg at $11. Racing well but needs to put a field away to regain some confidence.

    Form hard to fault. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track 0-52 on June 22 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Wandering Eye with 54.5kg at $7. Before that 3rd of 11 at Balaklava 0-56 on June 4 over 1050m, 1.4 len behind Lakehurst carrying 56.5kg at $6.50. In a suitable race and looks a top three chance again.

    At the latest run made ground from midfield; 4th of 13 at Balaklava Bm56 on July 9 over 1050m, slow going 1.1 len behind Miss Gabbiano with 57.5kg at $2.80. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at Bordertown 0-54 on June 27 over 1300m, on a wet track; 7 len behind Immortal Spirit carrying 59.5kg at $2.10. Capable enough on his day and is a key runner.

    Recent form sound. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at this track 0-54 on July 6 over 1200m, 4 len behind Eastside Diamond with 57kg at $3.20. The run before that won by 5.5 len at this track 0-52 June 22 over 1100m defeating Shikanic with 53.5kg at $21. In the mix as a winning chance off recent form.
