Prize Money: $3,940

COPPER RUSH (4) is worth forgiving for his last effort when seventh (29.03) at Bendigo over 500m. Form here sound including three wins. Key runner on his best form. RAYA STAR (8) turned in a moderate performance last time when fifth at Sandown over 595m behind Payback (34.45) in a Grade 4/5. Can do much better this time. GOT A PULSE (3) comes here after a handy win at Ballarat over 545m in 31.13. Top win latest and rates a key player again. BINDY BLAZER (2) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.

Good effort to win last start by 0.9 lengths over 545m at Ballarat in a handy (31.13), beating Zipping Cardi. Looks a solid contender.

Ordinary effort last start when he was slow out over 500m at Bendigo. Prior to that won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at this track (29.95) beating Gold Class Cool in a Grade 5 on May 3. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 525m at this track. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
