Gap (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

PAW REX (7) scored an on-pace win two back then gave a start and could manage only 3rd at Geelong (22.93) last time. Expected to feature in the finish again. CARDS NIGHT (3) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 2.25 lengths (22.44) at Ballarat. Has definite claims again. LEKTRA HOPPER (8) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind PAW REX (22.78) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Expected to feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.12) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fourth. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Will need the right run.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 390m at this track. Hard to envisage a win.

Hit the frame latest (22.78) when third at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
