Suited here and expected to run well. BALLANTYNE STAR (5) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Finished second (25.87) at Ballarat last time making it two minors on end. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Can feature again. PAW ENSLEY (8) can feature with the right run.

Comments

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 5.5 lengths fifth over 600m at The Meadows. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Hit the frame latest (24.79) when third at this track in a Grade 4/5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Jumps from box 5 for the first time after placing latest at Ballarat (25.87) in a Grade 5. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Missed the frame latest (24.36) when seventh over 425m at this track in a Grade 5. Starts from box 7 for the first time here. Looks a leading chance.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recent effort finished 7th on May 8 over 350m at Traralgon behind Flash Of Genius beaten 9 lengths (20.75) in a Grade 5 H. Well placed and among the chances here.
