ZERO CONTROL (1) boasts a strong record this journey with seven wins and seven minors from 20 tries. In the money last time at this track (18.32) in a Grade 2/3, finishing a 4.5 lengths third. Rates on top and should go close. LUKA MAGIC (8) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (18.56), beaten 4 lengths. Boasts a strong record from this draw with four wins and two minor placings from eight starts. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. BRAVE EMBER (4) finished in the minors last time but only a few starts back broke the clock when winning over 383m at this track, taking a Free For All in a powerful 22.11. Has the ability and can find winning form again. CLIVE'S CHANCE (2) was in the money last time at this track (18.24) in a Grade 2/3, finishing a 2.5 lengths third. Has already won five times from this draw.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 2/3 at this track when a 2.5 lengths third but did run a fast 18.24 over the 312m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 3.5 lengths second at this track but did record a brilliant 22.04 for the 383m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Missed the frame latest (22.69) when fourth over 383m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from five starts. Looks a place chance at best.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 312m at this track beaten 4 lengths (18.56) behind Brittain On Fire in a Grade 1/2 on April 8. Placed two back at this track. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.
