MATCHBOX HONEY (7) boasts a strong record this journey with eight wins and three minors from 16 tries. Missed the frame latest (28.98) when fourth over 510m at Sale in a Grade 4/5. Has the ability and should feature. PAW MONET (1) has a strong record this journey with two wins and a minor from six starts. Scored by 3.5 lengths last time (25.46) in a Grade 5 over 450m at Warrnambool. Looks well placed here and among the chances. CARRY ON MACI (2) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (25.71) at Warragul. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Expected to feature again. BELAIR BETTY (3) could manage only third last time but ran a fast time (29.89) in a hot race. Worth including.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a head second (25.71) over 460m at Warragul. Should be right in the finish.

Was among the placegetters latest at Mt Gambier when a 4 length third but did clock a useful 29.89 over the 512m journey. Looks an each way chance again here.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Shepparton over 450m. Last start finished 4th over 510m at Sale beaten 6 lengths (28.98) behind Mr. Thomas in a Grade 4/5 on January 18. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.
