BLESSED RAIN (8) stuck on well last time to finish one length back in second (19.31) at Healesville in a Grade 5 over 350m. Winning claims. TANNER BALE (7) looks close to another win after finishing third from Box 3 last time (23.31) at Horsham. Expected to be in this for a long way. GUNAI NUGGET (1) has a strong winning strike-rate here having won three of four starts. Was out of placings last time (31.41) at The Meadows in a Grade 5, finishing eighth and beaten 16 lengths. Can feature with the right run. PAW XABIA (2) form at this distance reads well.
