PAW MATIC (1) was out of the placings last time when sixth at The Meadows (30.30) but scored three back at this track (29.53). Solid record here at this trip including two wins. Has ability and looks hard to stop. DONKEY FLY (4) finished fifth last time at this track but could not have been more impressive before that in her dynamic 23.77 win at Bendigo over 425m. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. BLINKED (8) was well fancied as favourite latest and led for much of the way but faded to place, beaten 2 lengths (30.58) at The Meadows in a Grade 5 over 525m. Leading chance. ALWAYS SHARE (6) deserves plenty of thought at her first run at this circuit.

Comments

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 6th over 525m at The Meadows beaten 5.5 lengths (30.30) behind Avengement in a Special conditions race on February 14. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to do much better.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 2 lengths at The Meadows (30.43) beating Blinked in a Grade 5 on February 7. Looks up against it this time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Bendigo over 425m. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on February 12 over 515m at this track behind Once More beaten 7 lengths (30.22). Brought a two-start winning streak to an end last time when she missing the frame. Worth another try.

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 2 length second (30.58) over 525m at The Meadows. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Will be thereabouts.
