Prize Money: $3,360

PAW ZOHAN (1) comes off a (21.93) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 390m at Warrnambool. Has an unbeaten record from this draw, scoring two times. Looks well placed and should feature. CRIMINAL MINDS (2) finished third last time (22.17) at this track after winning at his previous three outings. Goes very well at the trip finding the frame in each of six starts. Must be included in calculations. ODDLY COOL (5) continues to race well, filling the minors at the last three starts, the latest at this track in 21.97. Has never missed the frame here at the trip from three starts. Expected to feature on best form. BLACKPOOL FINN (7) was in the money last start in fast time and should feature again.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Warrnambool (21.93) beating Adrenaline Burst in a Grade 5 on October 22. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Sure to go well.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (21.97) over 390m at this track. Key chance on best form.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 3 length second (22.04) over 390m at this track and making it two placings on end. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.
