ENGELKE ROAD (4) hit the frame latest (31.27) when second at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has already won out of this draw. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. AWESOME AVENGER (7) jumped from this box and scored a Grade 4/5 win at Horsham over 485m latest (27.29). Has a consistent record off this same draw, including a win and four minors. Has the ability and can measure up. TADEN BALE (2) missed the frame last time when fourth (28.52) at Bendigo in a Grade 5 but not beaten far the start prior. Rates a winning chance on best. PAW YASMIN (8) generally performs well over this distance.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 450m at Warrnambool. Hard to envisage a win.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (28.52) over 500m at Bendigo. Has a low draw and capable of a better result.

Comments

Strong performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by 1.5 lengths in a Mix 3/4 last start at Bendigo, clocking a fast 28.27 over the 500m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Comes off a (27.29) win last time, scoring by 1.2 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 485m at Horsham. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Looks a key chance on best form.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (34.27) over 595m at Sandown. Has a wide draw to navigate but can measure up.
