DROP OF INK (4) finds it hard to win. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (30.35) at The Meadows. Deserves serious consideration. RATTLE AND BANG (3) doesn't win out of turn. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (26.27) at Warragul. Solid record here winning two races. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Expected to be in the finish again. BIT OF ROMANCE (1) has missed the frame the last couple but was a T3 Grade 6 winner three back (22.90) at Geelong over 400m. Can turn it around this time. PONTING (7) is another with top-three prospects.
