SNOWBALL ONE (2) hit the ground running off the tricky draw last start and was never headed (22.09) at this track in a Grade 5 over 390m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Great chance to get the job done again. SUMO SMASH (7) flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 3 lengths over 390m at this track (22.22). Sure to be thereabouts. HEART (1) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with two wins and a placing from six tries. Missed the frame latest (25.94) when fourth over 450m at this track in a Grade 5. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. PAW EDEN (5) is another with top-three prospects.
