Geelong Race 4 - Star Pelaw Uk Challenge Trophy
PAW ESTRELLA (2) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 3.5 lengths behind Hara Hachi Bu in 22.75 and recording a new PB here. Rates a top chance if runs up to latest. WHATEVER HE SAID (1) was a course and distance placegetter (22.71) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 3 length third in a Grade 5. Expected to feature. PAW JUDD (3) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last four runs. Last start finished 2nd over 390m at Shepparton beaten 3.5 lengths (22.24) behind Ruckman in a Grade 5 on February 16. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Overdue and expected to feature again. DYNAMITE DOUG (8) is likely to have admirers.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (22.75) over 400m at this track. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (22.24) at Shepparton over 390m. Comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 390m at Ballarat in a handy (22.06), beating Kaluna Chaos. Will find this a bit tougher, doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Won two starts back at Healesville over 300m in 17.03. Followed that up with a minor placing over 350m at Healesville at Grade 5 a week ago. Has the ability to be in the finish.
