Prize Money: $2,925

PAW VERITY (6) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive three back in her quick 23.31 win at Horsham over 410m. Smart win three back and looks a key chance here. KIANI STAR (4) slotted in just off the lead from the wide box before lifting strongly to score (22.77) at Geelong in Grade 5 over 400m. Deserves serious consideration again. SUMO SMASH (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (22.58) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Solid record here winning six races. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and can atone. ASTON FLAMENCO (7) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Was out of placings last time (22.58) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 12 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Looks one of the chances.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 3 length second but did clock a solid 22.22 over the 390m trip. Looking to others this time.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 485m Horsham in 27.75. Can't recommend in this field.

Won her last two including a narrow win last start racing on the pace over 400m at Geelong by a neck in a Grade 5. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.

Was in a purple patch of form before proving a little disappointing last start, finishing sixth at Horsham over 410m. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.
