SPECIAL PLAYERS (6) used the rails draw to advantage to get home last time at this track and distance (22.94) after leading through, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Can measure up again. PAW ENNA (4) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 3.5 lengths away in second (22.86) at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 over 400m. Overdue and is among the main hopes. PAW MADDOX (3) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (23.62) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Goes well out of this box with a win and six minor placings. Expected to give a good account. PAW HULL (1) scored with plenty to spare last time. Hard to beat again.

Strong performance to win by 1.5 lengths at Ballarat over 390m (22.44) beating Black Pistol in Grade 5 on January 5. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Was in trouble close to the inside last time over 450m at Shepparton when failed to finish and given a four-and-a-half months break. Worth following up here fresh.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (22.86) over 400m at this track. Key chance on best form.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a 0.8 lengths winner (22.94) over 400m at this track. Key chance on that latest effort.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at Warrnambool. Likely to find this a bit tough.
