MILE A MINUTE (1) boasts a strong record this journey with 16 wins and seven minors from 29 tries. In the money last time at this track (22.49) in a Free For All, finishing a 1.5 lengths third. Looks suited and should go close. LIGHTNING JEWEL (4) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (22.79) last time out at this track. Solid record here including 11 wins. Hard to beat again. WASHINGTON BLUE (2) scored an upset win at big odds last time in a Grade 5 at Healesville (19.59). Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Deserves serious consideration again. LIGHTNING RANGE (7) should be thereabouts.
