Stake: $9,960

MEPUNGA SMOKEY (2) was a winner (30.26) at Geelong two back but out of the placings last time when 8th there. Solid record here at the distance winning five races. Can make amends. SHAYNA BALE (1) comes here after a scorching Grade 5 win at this track over 525m in 29.95. Has the ability and can measure up again. PAW GORDY (8) lines up chasing another win after getting around the 515m at Sandown in a sharp 29.46 on April 10. Expected to feature again. POWER PAWS (4) was on the bunny all the way to win last start. Big chance again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 3.5 lengths in 30.09, beating Versnellen. Last start finished last over 525m at this track beaten 10 lengths (30.53) behind Paw Oswald in a Free For All on April 12. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by a neck in a Grade 5 last start at Sandown, recording a strong 29.46 over the 515m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.
