Shima Ballad is new to the chasing game but has shown ability in his first five starts.
The Thomas Dailly-trained dog was a six-length winner on debut at Geelong before winning his third start at Ballarat in close to the best time of the night.
He didn’t have a great deal of luck in his only previous start over this course and distance but can bounce back here.
The vacant box to his immediate inside helps.
Paw Ike looks like he is the best dog in the race and should be hard to beat.
The son of Bernardo won over 525m here four starts back in 29.86 seconds but recently showed he’s equally adept over this longer trip.
Last start and in just his second race over this course and distance, he defeated a strong field to win in 34.51 seconds.
He loves box 1 and maps perfectly.
Wyong Dallas has never been out of the top three in 10 races and we can bank on his consistency here.
The Thomas Dailly-trained dog broke 30 seconds over this course and distance last start when leading and run down late for a 1.5 length second.
He boasts a record of four seconds and a win from five starts here.
He’s a bold frontrunner and should get on the arm early and prove hard to catch.
Van Wyck has a class edge over this field and arrives here in super form.
The son of Tommy Shelby led all the way over 515m at Sandown Park last start, stopping the clock in a slick 29.36 seconds.
While he’s only won once in seven starts over the course and distance, that win was an all the way victory in 29.72 seconds.
If he produces his best jump then he should be able to cross from box 7 and lead.
