PAW CARVER (2) filled a minor placing last start at Ballarat behind Paw Oakley (26.03) in a Maiden. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Good form should continue. PAW BRUTUS (3) rocketed out of the inside draw with a strong early sectional and gave a sight but had to settle for a placing, finishing third (25.48) at Warrnambool over 450m. Can feature again. THUNDERING THEO (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (26.80) last time in a Maiden at this track. The form from his last run stacks up well. Has ability and can measure up. HAPPY DAD (8) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 450m at Ballarat. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (25.48) over 450m at Warrnambool. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Last start finished eighth in a Maiden H on January 3 over 435m at Sale behind Lindenow Buffy, beaten 5.5 lengths (25.26). Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Ran an eye-catching race on debut when settled well off the lead early but got home well to finish second (22.89) at this track over 400m. Looks a solid contender.
