Fast Minardi At Stud Division4

Prize Money: $3,395

BUSTER SCRUGGS (3) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (19.41) at Hobart behind My Girl Tenika in a Grade 4. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from five starts. Key chance in this line up. TEDDY DANGER (8) boasts a strong record this course with five wins and three minors from 12 tries. In the money last time at Hobart (19.68) in a Grade 5, finishing a nose second. Looks well placed here and among the chances. NITRO VENOM (6) goes very well here starting six times for two wins and three minors. Placed last time (16.50) at this track in a Restricted WIN, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. KISSES FOR RUBY (2) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (16.52) over 278m at this track. Has the inside draw and capable of a better result.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by a neck in 16.66, beating White Cloud. Last start finished last over 340m at Hobart beaten 7 lengths (20.33) behind Show Princess in a Grade 5 on June 26. Hard to recommend this time.

Looks close to another win after his success on April 3 at Hobart over 340m. Last start was second over 278m in 16.50, behind Gawler Girl Ruby. Has a fast 16.07 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.

Hit the frame latest (19.68) when second at Hobart in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Key chance and should go close.
