LEVIATHAN (1) bolted in last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths in slick time (22.82) to take a Maiden in a new PB this course and distance. Expected to push the clock again. ULTIMO (5) missed the frame last time when fourth (22.66) at this track in a Mix 6/7 but not beaten far the start prior. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. BLOW TORCH (2) hit the ground running and never headed to claim a maiden victory two back then finished a 7 length fourth last start at this track over 400m (23.03). Back to track where he won his maiden. Rates a winning chance on best. PAW KATTIA (8) placed two back in a Grade 6 at Warragul then backed that up with a third (24.95) over 435m at Sale last time.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by 2.5 lengths at this track over 400m (22.82) beating Special Plays in Maiden on December 20. Looks to have an edge on most of these.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 4 lengths in 23.01, beating Gunai Maverick. Last start finished 4th on December 6 over 400m at this track behind Mav Reiko beaten 7 lengths (23.03) in a Maiden FIN. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.52) at Ballarat over 390m. Has claims if at his best.

Finished second at big odds last time (22.91) over 400m at Warragul. Squeeze draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.

Showing promise but missed the frame last start when fourth at Warrnambool. Form solid prior to that including a win at Warrnambool three back. Looks a definite winning chance on best and given another chance.
