ASTON DUNKEL (8) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths (22.52) behind Serenity Girl at this track. Sure to be about the mark. ZOOM BOOM (6) last start finished 4th over 390m at this track beaten 6 lengths (22.87) behind Coco Tommy in a Grade 5 on March 23. Can feature in the finish.
