PAW HAZELTON (1) is better than last start when fourth (25.83) from Box 8 at this track over 450m. Has a solid record from this box including three wins and a minor placing. Has ability and is a key runner. BLUER THAN BLUE (2) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten half a length (25.78) behind Edie Monsoon at this track. The form out of his last race has been franked. Expected to feature again. ASTON CASTLE (5) stuck on well last time to finish half a length back in second (25.71) at this track in a Grade 5 over 450m. The form from his last run stacks up well. Leading chance. REIKO COMET (4) won last start in very good time. Big chance on that form.

Placed last time (25.78) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten half a length. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed eight times. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (24.58) at Bendigo over 425m. More than capable and has to be included.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a slick 22.24 over 390m finishing second at this track. Has the ability and looks an each way chance.
