Prize Money: $1,530

PAW NORN (5) comes off an average run last start when sixth at Ballarat over 450m behind Despicable Andy (26.40) in a Grade 5 NP. Can bounce back. SHANK'S PONY (1) missed the frame latest when eighth at Traralgon (21.06) but scored four back at Traralgon (20.41). Some good form is emerging from her last run. Warrants plenty of respect. JACK HOOK (3) finds it hard to win. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (20.42) at Traralgon. Solid record here winning six races. Can feature again. CELTIC BOUY (6) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.
