PAINT THE FENCE (1) was in the money last time out when third and beaten 5.5 lengths at Healesville over 300m (17.05). Has failed to finish in the placings from two starts here. Can feature again. PAW KIPLIN (8) turned in a moderate performance last time when seventh at Warrnambool over 390m behind Aston Finniss (22.99) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Bold showing expected. ASTON KATY (7) is in form and must include among the chances.
