PAW XELA (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (22.72) in a Grade 5 at Warrnambool. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. IVORY QUILL (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 2.25 lengths (22.59) at this track. Can figure in the finish. CLASSY DANCER (2) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Finished second (22.76) at this track last time making it two minors on end. Form from her last run is proving strong. Bold showing expected. ZIPPING SCOOBY (6) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.

Comments

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (22.59) at this track over 390m. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
