PAW IOWA (1) comes off a (29.86) win last time, scoring by 3 lengths in a Grade 5 over 515m at Sandown. Has an unbeaten record from this draw, scoring two times. Appeals as a leading chance in this. PAW NIMBUS (2) pinged the lids from the inside draw and led until late, finishing second and beaten (27.66) at Horsham in a Grade 4/5 over 485m. Overdue and is among the main hopes. OPAWA POSTMAN (8) looks overdue for a win having finished in the minors at his last four runs, the latest when third (30.45) at this track. Has never missed the frame here from three starts. Looks suited and expected to run well. ROCKY SUPERSTAR (7) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Strong performance to win by 3 lengths at Sandown over 515m (29.86) beating Ivory Mihara in Grade 5 on October 1. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Sure to go well.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a second (27.66) over 485m at Horsham and making it two placings on end. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (30.07) at big odds over 515m at Sandown. Has a low draw but will need to find best.

Finished second last start (30.44) over 525m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Has to do a bit more.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 30.24 over 525m at this track. Close to the speed and boxed on well at his latest run. In the mix again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 525m in 30.16. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 525m at this track at Grade 5 level. Has ability and worth including.

Hit the frame latest (30.45) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Has two placings from three starts from the draw. Key chance and should go close.
