RAM RAID (3) comes here following a placing in quick time (22.25) over 390m at this track. Can measure up if runs up to latest time. PAW XANTHIE (1) is having her first start around this circuit. Comes here a last start placegetter at Warragul in a Grade 4/5 (23.10). Deserves a win and gets her chance. ASCEND IGLOO (7) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his swift win a few runs back, getting around this track over 390m in 22.14. Should be in this for a long way. BLACK MARVEL (2) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.
