MAXI GRIN (8) flew the lids from the middle with an impressive turn of foot, going on to clock 29.73 when a 1.1 lengths winner over 515m at Sandown. Has performed well from this box with a win and five minor placings to his name from seven starts. Ideally placed to take this out. ASTON BARRISTER (2) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (28.33) in a Restricted WIN H at Bendigo latest but did run well two back when in the frame. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. PAW QUIVER (4) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at this track over 525m behind Dash Parr (30.71) in a Grade 4/5. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. OPAWA SCOOTER (3) was in the money last start in fast time and should feature again.

Backs up after finishing 7th on October 4 over 350m at Healesville in a Free For All. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Latest effort finished 4th in a Restricted WIN H on October 2 over 500m at Bendigo behind Surge beaten 7 lengths (28.33). More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 5 at Horsham when a 2 length second but did run an excellent 23.17 for the 410m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 515m at Sandown by 1.1 lengths in a Grade 4. Looks the one to beat again.
