Prize Money: $9,055

PAW CARVER (3) has been racing well lately, making it two on end when saluting at The Meadows last time over 525m in (30.36). Ideally placed to take this out. AMRON DANCER (8) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Grade 4/5 win two back (25.47) at Warragul. Well placed here and can atone this time. GALENTO (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and four minors from 11 tries. Hit the frame latest (30.06) when third at Geelong in a Special conditions H. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. TRENDY ART (2) generally performs well here at this distance.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.5 lengths third (30.06) at Geelong and making it two placings on end. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Good effort last time when third (30.14) over 520m at Geelong. Tricky draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.
