VACATION CALLING (1) made light work of the tricky draw with a fast early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing third (22.29) at this track over 390m. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Must come into calculations. DREAM ON JUNIOR (3) was in the minor money with a handy 22.24, finishing second in a Grade 5 at this track last start. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. PAW BALLISTA (2) clocked an impressive 22.49 to claim a Grade 5 over 400m at Geelong last start. Harder here but expected to feature again.

Showed good improvement when third behind Aston Fontaine at this track last start over 390m (22.29). Good beginner who shouldn't be far away in the run.

Easy winner showing plenty of speed to post a big 6 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at Geelong, clocking a hot 22.49 for the 400m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 1.5 lengths second (22.24) over 390m at this track. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Has finished sixth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 7 lengths behind Aston Fontaine over 390m. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
