PAW ZOHAN (7) led throughout to score two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 2.5 lengths 4th at this track (22.43). Has winning claims on his best figures. ROVANIEMI (8) has been out of the placings at his last two starts but prior to that clocked an exceptional 22.08 win over 390m at Shepparton. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. RELIABLE MOTOR (1) ran below best last time finishing fifth (22.83) over 400m at Geelong from Box 4. In the mix. HOKKAIDO EXPRESS (2) is worth including after a top-three finish at big odds most recently.

Comments

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 3.5 lengths fifth (22.83) over 400m at Geelong. Expected to go very well.

Hit the frame at Traralgon last time when a 2.25 lengths third but did record a sharp 24.07 over the 425m journey. Can measure up with a repeat of latest.

Last start finished fifth in a Grade 5 on October 28 over 525m at The Meadows behind Going Nuclear, beaten 8 lengths (31.12). Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
