PAW BRUTUS (8) missed the frame last time when fourth (29.78) at Sandown but prior to that had four placings in a row. Has winning claims on his best figures. ASTON ACE (3) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (30.77) in a Mix 6/7 H at The Meadows over 525m. Warrants plenty of respect. MIDNIGHT JED (6) had a low draw last time over 525m at The Meadows but was in traffic and fell. Key player if finds best. ASTON BARRISTER (1) has a solid strike rate at this distance.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by half a length at Geelong (26.34) beating Paw Norbert in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win on March 24. Should be around the mark.

Finished third at big odds last time (24.23) over 425m at Bendigo. Squeeze draw to overcome. Will need plenty of luck.
