HILLBILLY TIGER (1) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when third (24.64) in a Maiden over 425m at Bendigo. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. COME ON FOX (2) is overdue for a maiden success having placed at five of 16 starts, the latest missing the frame when fourth at this track. Has ability and is one of the better chances. AUSSIE ADONIS (3) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (23.82) in a Rank Limit - Maiden at Geelong. The form from his last run stacks up well. Worth another chance. PAW NINA (4) looks an each-way chance.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (24.64) at Bendigo over 425m. Has the ability to take this out.

Improved sharply when second behind Galaxy Of Love at Geelong last start over 400m (23.35). Good beginner who shouldn't be far away in the run.

At the last start finished 5th on August 17 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Hope Giblet beaten 12 lengths (26.36) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Last run is a strong form reference. Worth following up.
