PAW OSWALD (7) is a talented dog who is a winner of 36 races and filled a minor placing latest when second at this track (29.64). Solid record here at this trip including 14 wins. One of the contenders. IAN ALBERT (3) turned in a moderate effort last time when fifth at The Meadows over 525m behind Regal Spencer (30.66) in a Grade 5 H. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. HOT NANU (1) scored a most impressive win at The Meadows over 525m latest in a best of program time (29.74). Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Expecting another bold showing. ELIJAH ROSE (8) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 3.5 lengths away in second (28.73). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Overdue and is among the main hopes.

Had been in solid form before missing the frame at the latest appearance when seventh (30.26) at this track. Boxed awkwardly and appears tested on latest effort.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won by 2 lengths at this track (29.74) beating Sweet Bee in a Grade 5 on June 25. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a half a length second (29.64) over 515m at this track. Has scored four times from this draw. Key runner.
