1609M

Prize Money: $5,314

WIND BLAST (3) Was competitive when 3rd last run at this venue and form has been improving over recent runs. Has early speed and positions nicely. Must respect. ETBAUER (6) Faded in the late stages of the race when 3rd last start at the track. Strong chance. NETWORK SEELSTER (1) Finished 4th last time at this venue. Has the ability to turn things around and gets a favourable alley. Michael Merton and Robert Dill have a good working relationship. Right in this. A SHORE LEGACY (4) Failed to threaten last start around here. Looking for an improved run. Can figure in the finish.
