Prize Money: $1,530

PAW YAZ (3) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 5th (23.00) at Warrnambool. Has ability and looks hard to stop. SMALL MERCIES (1) has been on speed at the last couple here and fought on to hit the frame, last outing finishing third beaten 0.8 lengths (22.74). Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings six times from nine starts. Overdue and expected to feature again. KID (7) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing eighth (23.29) in a Grade 5 at this track. Expected to feature in the finish. LIKE A BLAZE (8) collected a minor prize last start at big odds and must be considered.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 390m at this track. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.
