ASTON ALLURE (6) turned in a plain run last time when fifth at this track over 545m behind Queen Kimetto (32.28) in a Grade 5. Can discover winning form. WHITE SHIRAZ (2) produced a moderate effort last time when sixth at Bendigo over 500m behind Argyle Maggie (28.99) in a Grade 5. Likely to play a prominent role. PAW MADDOX (1) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into second last time out (32.32) over 545m at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. BAKIS BALE (4) can measure up with the right run.

Comments

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (32.32) at this track over 545m. Has never missed the frame in three starts from the draw. Solid prospects.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (28.91) at big odds over 500m at Bendigo. Aided by a low draw but appears tested on latest effort.

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (25.89) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fourth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from eight starts. Has ability and should be around the money.

Finished eighth (26.73) last start at Warragul. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Has a wide draw to navigate and needs to find best form to feature.
