Stake: $3,481

LITTLE BONT (1) showed good early burn but run over late to finish 5th at The Meadows in Grade 7 company. Ready to return to form. PAW SHERMAN (4) missed the frame latest when fifth at Geelong (26.45) but scored three back at this track (22.25). Comes out of a solid form race last start. Can do much better this time. PAW NIMBUS (8) is a smart beginner who has shown good improvement at his last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 2nd at The Meadows over 525m. Racing well and deserves a win. BEANIE THIEF (5) jumps at a shorter distance and still warrants respect.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished last on March 4 over 525m at The Meadows behind Paw Fortress beaten 7 lengths (30.71) in a Grade 7. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Showing promise and was a winner three back. Last start missed the frame when a 8 length fifth (26.45) at Geelong. Rates strongly and can return to winning form.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by one length in 25.75, beating Moraine Koby. Last start finished 5th over 525m at The Meadows beaten 15 lengths (31.21) behind Romeo Montana in a Mix 6/7 on March 18. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Missed the frame latest (26.54) when fifth over 460m at Geelong in a Mix 6/7. Yet to score but has placed each of four runs from this draw. Will need the right run.

Comments

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 0.8 lengths second (30.44) over 525m at The Meadows and making it two placings on end. Should be around the mark.
