Prize Money: $1,530

ONE KNEE NONI (1) turned in a solid run last start over 390m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (22.71). Has placed a couple of times at this track. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. CONNOR'S FLYER (7) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (23.40) from Box 6 at Geelong over 400m. Should play a prominent role. PAW UCARTY (8) finds it hard to break through. Finished in the money last time though when second (24.47) at Bendigo. Has won two of three starts from this draw. Expected to be in this for a long way. MY BOY HARVEY (2) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on June 23 over 390m at this track behind Aston Monarchy beaten 4.5 lengths (22.71). Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.

Most recent effort finished last in a Grade 5 on June 24 over 400m at Geelong behind Jebediah beaten 7 lengths (23.45). Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Didn't make the placings last time at Healesville (17.25) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fifth. Has four successes and four minors from 14 starts from box 4. Others rate better this time.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing eighth (23.61) at this track last start. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need the breaks to go her way.
