PAR EXCELLENCE (3) has missed the frame at his last couple but placed three back at Geelong and he does perform well at this trip. Better than latest and can atone here. KIWI JAY (6) turned in a moderate performance last time when seventh at Geelong over 460m behind Marshall Bear (26.15) in a Grade 4/5. Should be about the money. SPRING MILES (4) recorded a 7 length second in a Grade 4/5 last time 25.54 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Rates a key player. PAW VORTEX (1) was below best last time at Sandown (30.20) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 11 length fifth. Has already won two times from this draw. Something for the Multiples: PAW YANELLE (7)

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 525m at The Meadows. Not likely to feature on this occasion.
