Prize Money: $10,375

PAW ZOLTIN (7) took the sit on the lead from a low draw but levelled up and led around the bend to score (34.29) at this track in a Grade 5 over 600m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Ideally placed to take this out. VALENZUELA (1) rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (34.52) at this track over 600m. Must be included in calculations. ESPOIR (2) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won three times from three starts. In the money last time at Sandown (34.69) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 1.75 lengths second. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. VISTA WEIRD (6) is a last start winner who can measure up again.

Missed the frame latest (35.00) when fifth over 600m at this track in a Free For All. Has four wins and two placings from 12 starts from the draw. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3 length fourth (34.11) over 595m at Sandown. Looking to others this time.

Impressive performance tracking the speed and going on to score by a neck in a Mix 3/4 last start at Sandown, recording a dynamic 29.26 over the 515m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance.

Has finished fourth at his last three starts, most recently over 600m at this track. Would be better placed in something easier.
