Stake: $4,262

DASH EXPRESS (8) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 2.25 lengths (27.12) at this track. Form reads well for this. PAW KRAMER (3) was in the minor money with a strong 25.98, finishing third in a Grade 5 at Warragul last start. Harder here but expected to measure up. SHARP THIEF (6) was well back throughout but attacked the line strongly to place, 6 lengths from the winner (27.49) at this track in Grade 5. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Leading player again. URIEL BALE (2) is a last start all-the-way winner. Right in the mix again.

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (27.63) over 485m at this track. Nicely drawn on the inside and is among the better hopes.

Solid performance to win by 2.5 lengths at Warrnambool over 450m (24.81) beating Pass The Buck in Grade 4/5 on December 19. Can make it back to back wins.

Hit the frame at Warragul last time when a 7 length third but did record a solid 25.98 over the 460m journey. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (25.54) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4 length fifth. Goes very well off the draw boasting four wins and three places from 10 starts. Looks a place chance at best.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Mt Gambier over 512m. Last start finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on December 17 over 485m at this track behind Dash Express beaten 6 lengths (27.49). Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 30.30 with a 1.75 lengths win at The Meadows over 525m. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.
