Prize Money: $8,785

PAW GERTRUDE (5) was rewarded for her honesty after two minors on end with a deserved win last time, scoring at Warrnambool over 450m (25.49). Consistent performer from this draw with a win and eight minor placings to her credit. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. RATTLER (4) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.4 lengths (30.45) behind Trendy Art at this track. Hard to beat again. TRENDY TOMMY (7) ran below best last time finishing fourth (30.49) over 525m at this track from Box 2. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Can figure in the finish. TASTE (2) is right in the mix.

In the money last time at this track (30.45) in a Grade 4, finishing a 1.4 lengths second. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.49 last start, beating Count The Stars. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Backs up after winning by a neck at Shepparton (25.76) beating Paw Jasta in a Grade 5 on August 10 five days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.
