GUNAI ASH (1) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 2.25 lengths second (22.43) in a Grade 7 at this track. Form from her last run is proving strong. Can measure up this time. SHOOTERS PROJECT (7) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Nightmare Swifty (22.55) in a Grade 6. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form from his last run stacks up well. Bold showing expected. ENERGY KISS (8) was sent out at odds but pinged the lids and never headed leading all the way to score by 4 lengths (22.50) at this track in Rank Limit - Grade 7 over 390m. Has never been out of the money in three starts this distance. Expected to feature again. PAW ALIA (3) can feature with the right run.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (22.43) at this track over 390m. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Missed the frame latest (22.79) when sixth over 390m at Ballarat in a Mix 6/7. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Makes appeal on best.

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (22.56) over 390m at this track. Has a low draw and capable of a better result.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2 lengths in a Mix 6/7 last start at Warragul, clocking a solid 22.65 over the 400m trip. In form and can measure up again.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when second (22.75) over 390m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks tested in this line-up.
