PAW YASMIN (1) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at Sandown over 595m behind Dewana Fernando (34.56) in a Mix 3/4. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including six wins, from nine starts. Has ability and is a key runner. SON OF GHOST (2) could manage only third at Warragul last time but impressed when posting a brilliant 28.72 over 510m at Sale the start prior. Expecting another bold showing. SEPHORA BALE (3) hit the ground running from out wide and on speed early but faded and swamped late when 6th at this track in Grade 5 company. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. RUBEN RHODE (8) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Working her way into winning form after her success on March 12 at The Meadows over 600m. Last start was second over 600m in 35.28, behind Crocodile Roll. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Pay to follow.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at Warrnambool. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Comments

At the last start finished last in a Restricted WIN on April 23 over 450m at this track behind Reiko Terror beaten 2.25 lengths (25.80). Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.
