PAW OLYMPUS (1) ran below best last time finishing fourth (30.26) over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 6. Form from his last run is proving strong. Has ability and looks hard to stop. BLACKPOOL WINTER (2) is generally an honest type in the frame at six of 10 starts but missed the placings last time when sixth (30.98) over 525m at The Meadows. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. PROCYON (5) missed the frame last time at Warrnambool but was in the finish the start prior when fourth (22.37) and goes well this journey. Can turn it around this time. PAW HAZELTON (6) has merit but will need to be at his best to take this out.

Was out of placings last time (30.98) at The Meadows in a Restricted WIN H, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks a leading chance.
