PAW SAPPHIRE (1) ran below best last time finishing sixth (30.44) over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5. Won at her only start from this box. Has ability and is a key runner. PAR EXCELLENCE (7) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last five runs. Last start finished 3rd on April 20 over 450m at Shepparton behind Croydon beaten 3.5 lengths (25.36) in a Grade 4/5. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Expecting another good run. TREBLE BEERS (4) is a last start placegetter when a 3.5 lengths third at The Meadows over 525m (30.44). Missed the frame only look here. Expected to feature. LOVES A CHAT (2) placed last start as favourite and is in the mix again.

Missed the frame last start when a 7 length sixth (30.44) at The Meadows. Previous form sound including a win three back at Ballarat. Better than last run and looks set to run well.

Racing well without winning, recording five minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a scorching early sectional but finishing in the minors again at Shepparton, clocking 25.36. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.
