Prize Money: $3,360

BAROOGA KING (1) found some support last start but struggled into sixth (22.58), beaten 14 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Can discover winning form. PAW XHANI (5) has a strong record here with five wins and four placings from 10 starts. Comes off a (22.07) win last time, scoring by a head in a Grade 5 over 390m at this track. Can feature in the finish. STRASBURG (4) was in the minors when resuming at this track where he finished third (22.17) in a Grade 5. Form at this distance is sound. Will give a great sight again. HEAVY HAULAGE (2) is back from a break and worth including.

Missed the frame when sixth (23.72) at Ballarat at last run and returns here after a four-and-a-half months break. Looks a key runner while fresh.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.17) at this track over 390m. Among the chances with the right run.

Good effort to win last start by 5 lengths over 485m at Horsham in a handy (27.29), beating Nigel Devere. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to risk.

Resuming from a six months spell and worth noting was a fresh up winner last time in, scoring in 30.65 over 545m at Ballarat. Looks a solid contender.
