Wood Motorcycle & Mower

Stake: $3,629

PAW QUARK (1) pinged the lids and led throughout to score last start (23.45) at Horsham in Grade 5 over 410m. Can continue the winning form. PAW LAUREN (4) had a tricky draw last time when running fourth (25.79) over 450m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Form at the trip sound including 11 wins. Has ability and can atone. SPRING WATCH (3) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Paw Manny (25.72) in a Grade 4/5. Has the early speed to give a sight. Leading player again. PAW XABIA (7) pinged the lids and wasn't headed last time. Will be thereabouts.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and led until late but gathered in when a 4 length second at this track over 450m in 25.72. Should be around the mark.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won comfortably by 5 lengths at Ballarat (22.08) beating Lioness Eyes in a Grade 5 on May 19. Other runners look much more appealing.
