WHIRLWIND (4) is in top form, most recently recording a win by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at Seymour to make it two on the bounce. Sure to measure up again. PAT'S BRO (3) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at Cranbourne with a win as public elect over 1600m at Kilmore two weeks ago, getting home by a neck after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. SUPER SOLAR (7) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a second at Benalla over 1606m when he was beaten 1.75 lengths. One of the leading contenders again. SUNNY TIMES (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Sale, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Well placed to turn things around.
