Top Cat Video Veterans (250+ Rank)

Prize Money: $2,925

AVIANNA (2) finished third last start over 390m at Ballarat but was game in defeat in a solid 22.13. In form and looks the one to beat. RUSSIAN BERRY (7) was in the minor money with a useful 22.28, finishing second in a Grade 5 at this track last start. Fast run latest and rates a key player again. MARKET BLUE (1) has been in the frame at his last two runs, most recently when third (22.50) in a Grade 5 over 390m at this track. Can turn it around this time. NO MORE ISSUES (8) can run a bold race on best form.

Comments

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 4 length third (22.50) over 390m at this track and making it two placings on end. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.
