PAW QUINBY (2) stalked the lead from the inside draw before finishing third last start (42.87) at this track in Grade 5 over 715m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expected to be in this for a long way. URANA XAVIER (1) is better than last start when sixth (30.88) from Box 6 at The Meadows over 525m. Key player if finds best. MAGIC LOKI (7) has a solid strike rate at this track and distance.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 595m. Last start finished 3rd over 715m at this track beaten 6 lengths (42.87) behind Mepunga Breeze in a Grade 5 on June 4. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
