TYPHOON BAYLEE (3) was well fancied last time and led throughout to score (25.70) at Geelong in a Grade 4/5 over 460m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Hard to fault his form and he makes plenty of appeal. DUSTY MCGRAW (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (24.07) from Box 6 at Bendigo over 425m. Boasts a strong record from this draw with five wins and two minor placings from seven starts. Great chance to atone. PAW XENA (8) is better than last start when sixth (25.71) from Box 4 at this track over 450m. Goes very well from this draw with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts. Can do much better this time. LITTLE DARL (2) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 390m in 22.25. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 390m at this track at Free For All level. Has claims on best form.

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (25.70) over 460m at Geelong. In top form and can make it three straight.

Eye-catching performance to post a big 3.5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording an exceptional 21.91 over the 390m journey. Harder here but worth including in multiples.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by a head at The Meadows over 525m (30.14) beating Spring Coin in Grade 5 on June 28. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.

Comments

Missed the frame latest (25.71) when sixth over 450m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Strong record off the draw with three wins and three minors from seven starts. Looks well placed and should feature.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
