PAW RIVAL (1) jumped well from this draw last time and was prominent throughout before holding third (25.82) in a SE at Ballarat over 450m. Worth following up. LIZARD COUNTRY (3) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with three wins and a placing from six tries. Was out of the placings last time (39.98) at Geelong in a Restricted WIN H, finishing fourth and beaten 9 lengths. Among the main chances. MCIVOR MORGAN (8) is another with top-three prospects.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 3.5 lengths third over 450m at Ballarat, clocking 25.82. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by 1.4 lengths at this track (28.46) beating Crusoe Rico in a Grade 5 on May 21. Is a danger.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (28.64) over 500m at this track. Boxed out wide and will need everything to go his way.
