PAW QATAR (3) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by half a length at Shepparton in a handy 22.46 beating Kraken Bluey. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from six starts. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. RUMBLING ROSE (4) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 22.51 beating Scott Vicious. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Leading player again. MAJOR WAIT (1) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fifth (22.67), beaten 5 lengths. Solid formlines coming through her last run. One of the main contenders. SODA SWAN (8) returns here as an each-way chance.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 390m at this track beaten 5 lengths (22.67) behind Glimmer Of Hope in a Rank Limit - Grade 6 on April 11. Placed two back at this track. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Missed the frame latest (22.99) when sixth over 390m at Shepparton in a T3 RSTW. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and two places from four starts. Among the main chances.

Scored by half a length last time (22.46) in a T3 RSTW over 390m at Shepparton. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a half a length win at this track over 390m in 22.51. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd on April 16 over 390m at Shepparton behind Paw Qatar beaten 1.5 lengths (22.56) in a T3 RSTW. Other runners look much more appealing.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Shepparton over 450m in 25.78. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at this track at T3 RSTW a week ago. Top-three hope with the right run.
