FIRE PAWS (4) has a strong record here with seven wins and seven placings from 17 starts. Recorded a 6 length win (25.16) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Looks a leading chance on best. TWICE BITTEN (8) was sent out big odds but was a fast winner (25.34) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a strong winning record here. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Likely to be in the finish. COLLINS CODE (2) had second look this course and distance latest and improved on his time, finishing a 1.75 lengths second in 25.47. Will be in this for a long way. KHATANGA TEX (7) placed here at this trip last start - cannot be ignored.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 1.75 lengths second over 450m this track in 25.47. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd on June 22 over 450m at this track behind Fire Paws beaten 6 lengths (25.63) in a Grade 5. Can't make much of a case this time.

Eye-catching performance to score by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a solid 25.34 over the 450m journey. Hard to top on that run.
