GIACOMO (1) has a strong overall record having 10 wins and 10 places from 29 starts including a last start second (30.32) over 525m at The Meadows. Form at the trip sound including five wins. Drawn the fence and expected to go close. PAW TIKA (2) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 25.78 beating Mandolin Storm. Ran the fastest time on the program in her latest win. Leading chance again. WARM COCKLES (7) is looking to continue his winning ways off a solid 25.39 success in a Grade 4/5 at Warrnambool. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. ORLI BALE (5) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when second (29.86) at Mt Gambier in a OPEN.
