BIG BOY PANTS (1) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a second place finish (22.36) there the start prior. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Has ability and can bounce back. SPRING LAVER (3) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his solid win a few runs back, getting around Shepparton over 390m in 22.23. Expecting another bold showing. PAW WINKWORTH (7) goes very well this trip starting 21 times for seven wins and seven minors. Below best last time at Sandown (30.35) in a Free For All, finishing a 10 length seventh. Suited here and expected to run well. FIREWORKS (2) can run a bold race on best form.

Missed the frame latest (22.99) when sixth over 390m at this track in a Grade 5. Super consistent from the draw with a win and three places from four starts. Looks a key chance on best form.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 3 lengths at Warragul (22.93) beating Paw Nelly in a Grade 5 on June 30. Can't recommend against this lot.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.35) in a Free For All, finishing a 10 length seventh. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks a key chance on best form.
