Prize Money: $10,095

MISTER EASY (1) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from five starts. Missed the frame latest (37.18) when fourth over 640m at Sale in a Grade 5. Makes strong appeal on best. MEPUNGA INFRARED (7) was in traffic and took a tumble last time at Geelong but was placed in a Grade 4/5 the start prior. Key chance on best form. GALACTIC SPARTAN (6) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (42.72) in a NG at Wentworth Park. Boasts two wins from three starts out of this box. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. TULLY LUNA (8) will make her presence felt on the back of recent top-three finishes.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sale (37.18) in a Grade 5, finishing a 12 length fourth. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and three places from seven starts. Expected to be in the finish.

Good effort last time when third (28.40) over 500m at Bendigo. Tricky draw to overcome. Looking to others.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recently finished 7th over 720m at Wentworth Park beaten 14 lengths (42.72) behind Ethanol Water in a NG on October 12. Solid chance with even luck.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd on December 5 over 515m at this track behind Utrillo Bale beaten 3.5 lengths (29.73) in a Grade 4/5. Right in the mix here.
