ZIVA DIVA (1) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Ballarat in a handy 25.43 beating Let's Cause Kaos. Was a winner at her only start from this draw. The hardest to beat again. PAW BASTOW (7) jumped favourite and was too quick with an all-the-way win last start (23.45) at Horsham in a Grade 5 over 410m. Has a solid record from this box including five wins and a minor placing. Can make it back-to-back wins. SANTORINI BALE (2) doesn't win out of turn. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (23.12) at this track. Must be included in calculations. CRUISING NAT (5) pinged the lids and wasn't headed last time. Will be thereabouts.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a 0.8 lengths win at Ballarat over 450m in 25.43. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Hit the frame latest (23.12) when second at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Has three wins and four placings from 12 starts from the draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Backs up quickly after winning by 1.75 lengths at this track (23.00) beating Santorini Bale in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on April 28 three days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Showed good improvement when third behind Paw Ingrid at Horsham last start over 410m (23.80). Likely to play a major role.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by a neck over 390m at Warrnambool (22.44). Key chance again.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Horsham over 410m in 23.45 last start, beating Paw Amalfi. Has hit winning form and can measure up again.
