ASTON SUMMIT (1) placed last time (25.30) at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths. Has already won six times from this draw. Rates on top and should go close. HAPPY AND NUMB (4) finished in the minors last start over the 390m at Shepparton but ran a strong 22.20 last start. Bold showing expected again. PAW ESTRELLA (7) goes very well over this track and trip including three wins. Recorded a 5.5 lengths win (19.80) in a Grade 4/5 last time at Traralgon. Looks well placed here and among the chances. SWEET LOVE (3) will have admirers again after a narrow placing last time out.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (25.30) at Ballarat over 450m. Has scored six times from this draw. Key runner.

In the money last time at Shepparton (22.20) in a Grade 5, finishing a neck second. Has three wins and two placings from nine starts from the draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Strong performance leading throughout to score by 5.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Traralgon, clocking a slick 19.80 over the 350m trip. Smart win and looks a key chance again here.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 425m in 23.97. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 390m at Shepparton at Grade 5 level. Not suited by wide draw, hard to have this time.
