NIGEL DEVERE (3) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing second (28.24) at this track in a Grade 5 FIN over 500m. Got the money at his only try from this box. Expected to be in this for a long way. SHIMA STRIPE (6) missed the frame over 350m at Healesville latest but ran a respectable 19.24 when beaten 1.3 lengths. Harder here but expected to measure up. PAW WHISTLER (7) will need to run right up to last start to feature again.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (19.24) at Healesville over 350m. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Has been in a purple patch of form, putting five wins back-to-back. Had plenty of support last start when he won by 1.5 lengths at Horsham (23.11) beating Prison Break in a Grade 4/5 on May 6. In a purple patch of form and likely to run well again.
