Prize Money: $1,530

PAW HAZELDON (3) was a course and distance placegetter (23.14) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 1.75 lengths third in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Rates a top chance. STAR OF VENUS (7) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (23.20) at this track behind Candles in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Bold showing expected. SLIPPERY SHARK (1) is boxed nicely on the inside. Latest effort finished 4th over 425m at Bendigo beaten 7 lengths (24.62) behind Red Cabang in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on May 6. Can feature with the right run. SOLAR TOBY (2) will have admirers again after placing at this track and distance last time out.

Last start finished seventh over 390m at Ballarat, beaten 6 lengths (23.07) behind Shy Cabang in a Grade 5 on May 4. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.
