Prize Money: $6,091

ORIGINAL WARRIOR (8) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 2.5 lengths at this track in a handy 30.14 beating Opawa Hass. Draws out wide but has a good record over this journey. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Is a very reliable beginner and expected to be right there at the finish again. PAW STRIKER (6) produced a moderate performance last time when fifth at this track over 525m behind ORIGINAL WARRIOR (30.71) in a Class 5. Bold showing expected. STUCK THROTTLE (2) boasts a strong record this course with 15 wins and 13 minors from 45 tries. Comes off a (23.18) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Class 5 over 390m at Ascot Park. Makes strong appeal on best. PAW KILTER (3) is always a threat when he races at this track and distance. Recently had a solo trial (16.96) on this track over 295m to help fitness levels.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ascot Park over 457m in 26.15. Followed that up with a minor placing over 525m at this track at Class 4 a week ago. Has run a slick time here with a 30.16 PB at the distance. Should be around the mark.

Was out of the placings at his last run before a break of four months when fifth at this track over 525m. Has had a solo trial (16.96) on this track over 295m. Looks a strong top-three chance.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 525m at this track in a handy (30.48), beating Too Easy. Prepared to just watch this time.

Missed the frame latest (32.64) when eighth over 525m at this track in a Class 5. Has two minors from two starts from box 5. Did have a solo trial (16.87) on this track over 295m. Looks a key chance while fresh.
