Prize Money: $2,925

BUNNI BALE (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing eighth (22.72) in a Mix 6/7 at Warrnambool over 390m. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. LASERHAWK (7) shapes as hard to beat after winning last start over the 390m at Warrnambool in a strong 22.12. Should be in this for a long way. RUPEE STAR (5) flew the lids and led throughout to get off the mark with his maiden win, then finished a 2.75 lengths second last start at this track over 390m (22.39). Has placed three times at this track. Bold showing expected again. ZIPPING BOCELLI (2) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Made an eye-catching debut when charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional, clocking 22.21 with a 2.5 lengths win at this track over 390m. This tougher but expected to run well again.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 2.75 lengths second over 390m this track in 22.39. Has run blistering time here with a 22.1 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Good performance to post a big 6 lengths win at Warrnambool over 390m (22.12) beating Dodge The Dream in Maiden on December 18. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Did a good job two starts back at Geelong to win by 1.4 lengths in 22.98, beating Wilson Again. Last start finished 6th over 400m at Geelong beaten 16 lengths (23.55) behind Black Business in a Mix 6/7 on December 12. Needs to find a bit more to test these.
