Prize Money: $2,925

PAW ZANY (1) has been out of the placings last two but shapes well for this if she can recapture her quick win a few runs back, getting around Warrnambool over 390m in 22.16. Hard to top on best recent times. SMILING LILY (2) comes here off a useful fourth over 390m at this track in 22.17. Expected to feature. SPRING ESPRESSO (8) ran below her best last time finishing sixth (23.14) over 400m at Warragul in a Grade 4/5. Form at the trip sound including five wins. Deserves plenty of respect. POETIC STAR (7) is always a threat when he draws this box.

Missed the frame latest (17.16) when fourth over 300m at Healesville in a Grade 5. Starts from box 1 for the first time here. Has the ability and looks a key chance.

Was out of placings last time (22.17) at this track in a Free For All, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 300m at Healesville. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when second (20.00) at big odds over 350m at Traralgon. Squeeze draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.

Backs up after winning by one length at Geelong (22.59) beating Benarca Rose in a Mix 6/7 on October 27 six days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 7 length third (22.72) over 400m at Geelong. Close to the speed and boxed on well at his latest run. In the mix again.
