ONE WORD ANSWER (2) shapes as hard to beat after winning last start over the 450m at Shepparton in a solid 25.34. In winning form and can measure up again. TOUGH TAZ (1) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (29.93) in a Grade 4 at Sandown last time out. Well placed here and should do much better. CLONCURRY GOLD (6) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when third (26.00) in a Grade 5 at Warragul. Has the ability and can find best this time. PAW OLYMPIA (4) will give backers a sight.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 4 length third (29.93) over 515m at Sandown. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 2.25 lengths win at Shepparton over 450m in 25.34. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 450m at Ballarat in a handy (25.74), beating Cornhill Prince. Will find this a bit tougher, cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.65. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 435m at Sale at Grade 5 level. Major threat on best form.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished eighth over 510m at Sale, beaten 8 lengths. Likely to find this too tough.
