ASTON WARRIOR (1) was a winner two back when racing on speed but drifted back latest and safely held when 8th and beaten 19 lengths at Bendigo (25.67). Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from seven starts. Should bounce back. ZIVA BALE (8) showed good early burn and was there until turning but swamped late to finish 6th at this track in Grade 5 company. Form from her last run is proving strong. Expected to feature in the finish. LITTLE GLADYS (7) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at Geelong in a handy 22.85 beating Evolve. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from six starts. Can measure up again. JOE THE GOOSE (3) collected a minor prize last start out of the same box - must be considered.
