PAW ILLABO (1) recorded a 1.5 lengths win (27.46) in a Grade 4/5 last time at Horsham. Has already won three times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close. BUFFALO COWBOY (2) used the inside draw to advantage last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, but could manage only the minor money when a 2 length second at this track over 400m in 22.64. Hard to beat again. FLYING MUFFIN (8) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (19.50) at Healesville behind Mav Reiko in a Grade 5. Form from her last run is proving strong. Bold showing expected. SARSAPARILLA KID (7) is worth including after a top-three finish at this track and distance most recently.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when sixth over 350m Healesville in 19.60. Capable of taking this out.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won easily by 5.5 lengths at Shepparton (21.96) beating Out Of Elite in a Grade 5 on November 6. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 400m in 22.88. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at this track at Grade 4/5 a week ago. Among the chances with the right run.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 2 length third over 350m at Healesville, clocking 19.50. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.
