SPECIAL LAD (2) is a super honest type rarely out of the placings, including wins at his last two on end, the latest at this track (22.32). Has the ability and expected to prove tough to beat again. WYONG DALLAS (3) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his powerful win three back, getting around Sandown over 515m in 29.32. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. PAW GERTRUDE (1) is a quick beginner who bombed the start last time and missed the frame, finishing fifth (23.07) in a Mix 3/4 at this track. Was fast away and placed (23.07) at this track the start prior. Form at the trip sound including 12 wins. The form out of her last race has been franked. Leading chance. SOLICIT (7) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Was the fastest winner on the program after running them ragged to make it back-to-back wins at this track over 400m (22.32). Looks well placed and should feature.

Could manage only sixth last time but caught the eye the start prior when he clocked a slick 22.17 over 390m finishing second at Ballarat. Can sneak a place again.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 400m at this track in a handy (22.82), beating I'm To Blame. Will find this a bit tougher, others better.

Comments

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
