Prize Money: $9,055

AVENGEMENT (5) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and two minors from 11 tries. Comes off a (29.26) win last time, scoring by 7 lengths in a Free For All over 515m at Sandown. With a clean break looks hard to beat. SPARRING (8) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 2 lengths at this track in a handy 30.00 beating Retaliation. Can make it two on the bounce. HIGHLY CONNECTED (2) hit the ground running and on speed early but faded out of it to finish fourth (30.11) at this track over 525m. Has a good record here at this journey. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to his credit. Should be about the mark. PAW RAYNOR (1) has claims fresh from a recent placing in good time.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 1.75 lengths fourth (30.11) over 525m at this track. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 2.75 lengths at Ballarat (25.23) beating Paw Gusto in a Grade 5 on July 22. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 7 lengths over 515m at Sandown in a handy 29.26, beating Paw Winkworth. Looks the one to beat.

Missed the frame last start when eighth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Tough field and looking to others this time.
