PAW XANTIPPE (4) ran below best last time finishing fifth (30.18) over 525m at The Meadows in a Mix 3/4. The form out of last race has been strong. Should bounce back. SPRING MILES (1) finished well back at The Meadows last time when a 7 length fifth (30.38) but recorded second best time of the card when winning three back. Warrants plenty of respect. SLAY QUEEN MOLLY (3) turned in a modest effort most recently when eighth at Bendigo over 500m behind Spicy La Vida (28.74) in a Special conditions H. Was in the money the start prior. Must be included in calculations. XOEL BALE (2) can find the frame without surprising.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing sixth (30.77) at The Meadows last start. Aided by a low draw but will need a little luck to feature.

Eye-catching performance to score by 4 lengths in a Grade 6 last start at Sale, clocking a fast 24.47 over the 435m trip. Harder here but worth including in multiples.
