PAW GERTRUDE (1) broke well and quickly mustered speed to win over the 435m at Sale two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing third at The Meadows last start. Sure to be about the mark. WARREN'S LEDGER (7) comes here off a scintillating win at Warragul in 22.25 over 400m. Top win latest and rates a key player again. ELITE INTENTION (2) has been in sparkling form recording back to back wins, the latest at Shepparton last time over 390m in (22.18). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to feature again. JUMBUK WANG WANG (3) is building a nice sequence of placings and will be in the mix again.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 2.5 lengths third (30.37) over 525m at The Meadows. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.

Dominant winner to post a big 7 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at Shepparton, recording a handy 22.18 over the 390m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at his last three starts, the latest when third (22.78) at Warragul. Has a low draw. Top-three aspirations.

Missed the frame latest (22.93) when seventh over 400m at Geelong in a R/A FIN. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Will need some luck to feature.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start easily by 6 lengths at Warragul (22.25) beating More Than Words in a Grade 4/5 on October 13. Looks the one to beat again.
