Hunter Fred returns to the races for the first time since copping a severe check and tailing out at Geelong in January.
When right, the son of Aston Dee Bee is a talented chaser which he demonstrated when winning eight from 10 starts late last year.
One of those wins included his only previous start over this course and distance when he recorded a slick 21.84 seconds.
He has the speed to lead from box 2.
Paw Gertrude could not have been more impressive in her first two career starts.
The daughter of Allen Deed led all the way from this box on debut over this course and distance for a 5.5 length win in 25.24 seconds.
She backed it up with an equally stylish win last start when clocking 25.10 seconds from box 8.
I expect her to cross to the front and give this field a drubbing.
Paw Hazeldon is the littermate of Paw Gertrude and can make it back-to-back wins for the family.
The Mark Delbridge-trained dog powered home on debut to win narrowly over this course and distance in 22.53 seconds.
He improved last start but ran into a good one and had to settle for second but lowered his personal best time to 22.18 seconds.
He looks well placed in this field from a low draw.
Serial Sticker led a heat of the Shepparton Cup last start only to be picked off late to finish 1.25 lengths second.
The son of Mepunga Cruzer is low flying and had won three in a row before that including the Emerald Final at Healesville.
He is electric at box rise and boasts an impressive record of four wins from six starts when wearing the black rug.
I expect him to get on the arm and run time.
