PAW XANDER (8) failed to feature last start after drifting back at this track, but prior to that won comfortably by 3 lengths at Sandown (29.39) beating Zipping Sandchez in a Grade 5 on August 21. Can atone. MILTON CRANBERRY (7) broke well and quickly mustered speed to win over the 515m at Sandown two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing third at Sandown last start. Leading chance. PAW FABIAN (6) failed to feature last start after settling well back at Shepparton, but prior to that won comfortably by 7 lengths at this track (29.99) beating Paw Gordy in a Grade 4/5 on August 27. Has the ability to give this a shake. VERSNELLEN (1) did a good job to finish second last time out over 525m at this track (30.28) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot.

Placed last time (30.28) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Has ability and should be around the money.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won by 0.6 lengths at Horsham (27.70) beating Knurling in a Grade 5 FIN on August 26. Hit the frame last time but will need to improve further.

Ordinary effort last start when he got back too far over 450m at Shepparton. Prior to that won easily by 7 lengths at this track (29.99) beating Paw Gordy in a Grade 4/5 on August 27. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (29.66) at Sandown over 515m. Has run blistering time here with a 29.89 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.70) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fifth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Makes strong appeal.
