PAW GERTRUDE (2) has a strong record here including five wins from eight starts. Missed the frame latest (25.66) when fourth over 450m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Makes strong appeal on best. SHIMA TIME (4) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at The Meadows over 525m behind Do Something (30.92) in a Grade 4/5. Worth another chance. PAW LEON (1) looks close to another win after finishing second from Box 4 last time (25.52) at this track. Expected to feature again. ADHANA KEVIN (7) will give backers a sight.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Shepparton over 450m. Last start finished 2nd on January 8 over 450m at this track behind Typhoon Baylee beaten 7 lengths (25.52) in a Grade 4/5. In form and another win would not surprise.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but she does have good record over this track and distance. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
