CRACKERJACK TREV (1) was out of placings last time (26.32) at Geelong in a Grade 5 H, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat. ASTON RUSSELL (3) was strongly fancied and drifted back but wound up hard to hit the frame, 0.9 lengths from the winner (35.00) at Sandown in Grade 5 NP. Expecting another good run. PAW DANNY (8) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 3rd at Horsham over 485m. Expected to be in this for a long way. PAW IMPERIAL (7) can fill a top-three spot.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last seven starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 460m at Geelong beaten 4 lengths (25.81) behind Paw Tonk in a Grade 5 H on December 19. Others make more appeal.

Working his way into winning form after his success on November 19 at this track over 525m. Last start was third over 485m in 27.52, behind Aston Summit. Thereabouts and rates well in this. Expected to run well.
