DRAGON TRAIN (2) placed last time (16.95) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 3.5 lengths. Has already won out of this draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat. AUSSIE STRIKE (1) showed good early speed but faded to a close fourth (22.28) at Shepparton over 390m. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. PAW ZANY (8) was below best last time when sixth but prior to that was a Grade 5 winner in quick time at Warrnambool. Well placed here and should do much better. LAID BACK LASS (6) profiles nicely over this trip.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 390m Shepparton in 22.28. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Returns from a 11 weeks spell after being tipped out on the back of a sixth (26.67) over 460m at Warragul. Has a win and a minor from two fresh up runs. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.
