Sportsbet Ht2 (1-4 Wins)

Prize Money: $3,340

HIGH COTTON (3) produced a moderate performance last time when fifth at Shepparton over 450m behind Dear Carla Lou (25.86) in a Mix 6/7. Was a winner the start prior. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from five starts. Can discover winning form. MCIVOR OLLY (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (30.63) in a Grade 5 at Sandown. Solid record here winning four races. Cannot be taken lightly. LIBRA COURT (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (39.87) in a Restricted WIN H at Geelong. Form from her last run is proving strong. Deserves plenty of respect. KURNAI BOLT (8) racing over this distance brings the best out in him.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 5th on April 18 over 680m at Geelong behind Star Stay beaten 7 lengths (39.87) in a Restricted WIN H. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished last over 515m at Sandown beaten 16 lengths (30.63) behind Bowie Sunny in a Grade 5 on April 28. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 515m at Sandown. Other runners look much more appealing.
