This tougher but expected to be in the finish. FADE TO BLACK (8) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (42.37) last time in a NG at Wentworth Park. Form at the trip sound including four wins. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Can do much better this time. ZIPPING MOONEY (1) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (41.68) over 720m at Wentworth Park. Has a fair record off the rails draw and is among the better hopes.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start easily by 13 lengths at Sandown (41.33) beating Charlestown in a Special conditions race on April 13. Recorded two placings in a row before he was rewarded with a win most recently. Expected to go well again.

In the money last time at Cannington (42.20) in a OPEN, finishing a 1.5 lengths second. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Steps up to 715m for the first time. Last appeared when third over 520m at Wentworth Park four weeks ago. Likely to struggle this time.

Having his first run at The Gardens. Comes off an average run last start over 720m at Wentworth Park when eighth behind Magpie Hector (42.60) in NG. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (41.87) over 710m at Q Parklands. Boxed out wide and needs to bounce back.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wentworth Park (42.37) in a NG, finishing a 8 length sixth. Has two wins and three placings from six starts from the draw. Looks a leading chance.
