RIORDAN LOMAR (1) was well off top last time, finishing 6th (25.78) in a Free For All at this track. Has a strong winning record here at this journey including two wins. The form out of his last race has been franked. Has ability and can bounce back. ANALYZATION (4) hit the ground running from the squeeze draw with a strong early split last time, paving the way for a 1.3 lengths win at The Meadows over 525m in 30.54. Some good form is emerging from his last run. One of the prime contenders. PAW XENA (8) is a well performed dog and winner of 29 races who is worth forgiving after finishing out of the placings at Geelong (22.79). Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Key runner on best form. UNIVERSE (2) can measure up with the right run.

Resumes from a three-and-a-half months spell and was a winner at only other fresh up run, scoring in 24.88 over 450m at this track. Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fourth (24.96) at Bendigo. Has ability and looks one of the hopes in this.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (24.07) over 425m at Bendigo. Aided by a low draw but will need everything to go his way.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 4 length fourth (24.14) over 425m at Bendigo. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.

Missed the frame latest (30.32) when fifth over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from six starts. Will need the right run.

Comments

Was out of placings last time (22.79) at Geelong in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and six places from 14 starts. Looks suited and should go close.
