PATRIOT MILLARD (3) is a fast beginner who has shown good improvement at his last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 390m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Well placed and will be tough to beat. NEIGHBOURS ALARM (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (22.87) in a Grade 7 at this track. Has ability and can measure up. ASTON BETTY (8) turned in a good run last time, finishing in the placings (22.70) at Shepparton in a T3 Grade 7. Lines up from box 8 for the first time. Overdue and is among the main hopes. TEARS IN RAIN (7) returns after a break and looks a top-three hope.
