Prize Money: $1,530

MISS BELIEVER (8) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when eighth at Warragul over 400m behind Chalk And Cheese (23.92) in a Mix 6/7. Was in the money prior to that. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Has ability and can bounce back. CRUISING TESSA (4) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (25.89) in a Mix 6/7 at Warrnambool. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Must be included in calculations. BUCK RODGERS (1) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 5th (23.12) at this track. Worth following up. ZINZAN CIAN (5) has top-three aspirations after placing last time.

Last start finished fourth in a Mix 6/7 on August 12 over 485m at Horsham behind Abdulla Zulu, beaten 10 lengths (27.93). Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Was out of placings last time when fourth (25.89) at Warrnambool in a Mix 6/7. Will jump from box 4 for the first time. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Good effort last time when third (24.75) over 425m at Bendigo. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Top-three aspirations.
