Prize Money: $2,925

ASTON HANSON (1) first look at this trip and drops in distance on last start. Drawn well off the inside box. Looks the one to beat with even luck. ASTON KING (2) was out of placings last time (23.95) at Mt Gambier in a OPEN, finishing fifth and beaten 12 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw. Can feature in the finish. BOROUGH COOK (3) ran a quick 16.63 when filling a minor placing over 300m at this track last start. Bold showing expected again. PAW QUANDA (4) cannot be left out over a shorter distance.

Looks close to another win after his success on February 28 at this track over 350m. Last start was second over 300m in 16.63, behind Sir Capulet. Well-performed from this box. Key chance on best form.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Better than last run and looks an each way chance.
