LEONESSA (3) hit the ground running last start and was never headed (24.37) at this track in Bottom Up - Grade 5 over 425m. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. PAW FAROK (4) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Shepparton over 450m (25.69). One of the better hopes. SMOKIN' ARROW (2) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Shepparton over 390m (22.47). Has a good record here at this journey. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on March 12 over 450m at Shepparton behind Paw Razor beaten 3.5 lengths (25.69). Placed two back at Shepparton. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Disappointed last time but just missed the placings two back over 300m at Healesville. Hard to recommend this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ballarat (26.20) in a Special conditions H, finishing a 13 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.
