PAW JAXSON (1) drew a middle box and finished in the money on debut at Ballarat over 450m (25.76). Boxed the fence this time. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. FULL BORE BOBBY (3) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when second beaten 0.8 lengths (30.02). Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. LUMINAIRE (8) makes his debut without a trial but profiles well for first outing. Expected to feature on debut. LAKEVIEW PEAR (5) makes debut for the Harley Whelan kennel. No favours with the draw and will need to begin well. Respect any moves in the market.

Turned in a sound debut over 450m at Ballarat where he settled off the pace but worked home well to finish third (25.76) and beaten 5 lengths. Improver and gets the rails draw this time. Looks a strong winning hope.

Is a five start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when second (30.02) over 515m at this track. Led for most of the way but faded over the final stages. Top chance to get off the mark.

Finished third last start (30.72) at big odds over 515m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks to have the job ahead.

Well bred debutante by Tommy Shelby from Lakeview Ally. Should be around the mark.

Has finished eighth at the last two runs, both at Warragul, the latest when beaten 17 lengths behind Manila Pluto over 460m. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Lines up from box 7 for the first time after finishing a 22 length sixth at this track (31.52) in a Maiden. Will need the right run.
