PAW ALIA (2) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing third (22.60) at this track. Must come into calculations. PAW NATULLO (6) made light work of a wide draw last time with a slick early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing third (22.53) at this track over 390m. Expecting another good run. APPELLANT (8) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 5.5 lengths at Mt Gambier in a handy 23.16 beating Adhana Lulu. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. DURAN NIRVANA (3) has top-three claims while fresh from a six-and-a-half weeks break.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 9 length third over 390m this track in 22.60. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by 2.25 lengths at Warrnambool (22.37) beating Ocean Amanda in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win on December 29. Has ability and worth including.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 0.8 lengths third (22.53) over 390m at this track. Forward showing expected.
