PAW VITALI (2) turned in a better effort at Geelong last start, finishing third behind Chappy's Banshee (23.25) in a Rank Limit - Grade 6. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from four starts. Can find winning form. CHOW MEIN (5) was well in the market last time but only managed seventh (22.99), beaten 4.5 lengths. Finished third the start before. Key runner on best form. MY LITTLE IVY (1) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at Geelong over 400m behind Aston Commander (23.19) in a Mix 6/7. Expected to run well. PAW EZRA (4) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (23.05) at Geelong over 400m. In the money last time and looks well placed. Can go one better.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fifth (23.50) at Geelong last start. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need to find best.
