PAW IMPERIAL (4) ran good time (29.74) when second last start over 515m at this track, the second placing in a row. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. PAW HARRY (2) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by a neck at The Meadows in a handy 30.53 beating Miss Sooky. Has a low draw and in form and has the ability. Has performed well from this box with a win and eight minor placings to his name from 14 starts. Should be in this for a long way. BIG DUKE (1) turned in a plain performance last time when seventh at this track over 515m behind Lush Hour (30.56) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Great chance to atone. ESCAPING BINDI (5) generally performs well here at this distance.

Was out of placings last time (30.43) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks a place chance at best.

Good performance to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 515m (29.97) beating Blinked in Grade 5 NP on April 20. Comes through a good form race. Looks a definite chance.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at her last three starts, the latest when third (30.43) at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Deserves respect.
