PAW VORTEX (8) shapes nicely here coming off a superb 27.96 success at Bendigo over 500m. Hot win latest and looks the one to beat again.

Has a strong record from box 3, including two wins. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. CLEO'S STAR (1) is fresh from a short break and ready to run well.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 5 length third (30.00) over 515m at this track. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an effortless winner after leading throughout, scoring by 7 lengths in a Grade 5 at Goulburn and clocking an outstanding 24.58 for the 440m trip. Harder here and place looks best.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 3 length win at Bendigo over 500m in 27.96. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with him.
