ROSS THE BOSS (4) shapes nicely here coming off a dominant 33.88 victory at Sandown over 595m. Expected to push the clock again here. PAW IKE (1) goes very well this course and distance starting nine times for three wins and four minors. Placed last time (34.52) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten a nose. Looks one of the chances. VALENZUELA (7) jumps from box 7 again after scoring (29.97) last time at Cannington over 520m. Leading player again. ETHANOL SECRET (6) hit the frame here last start and can sneak into the finish again.

Eye-catching performance leading throughout to score by one length in a Grade 4/5 last start at Sandown, clocking a hot 33.88 for the 595m trip. Hard to top on that run.
