Prize Money: $3,415

PACO (2) was out of the placings last time but before that was an impressive winner (16.09) in a Other at this track. Key player on best and worth another chance. LITTLE CHARLOTTE (3) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 5 lengths (16.31) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning 11 races. Key player if finds best. BOWSER BOY (1) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at this track over 278m behind Ginger Rush (16.94) in a Grade 4. Can do much better this time. APRIL CRUISER (7) is worth including after a top-three finish in a tight contest most recently.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 278m. Last start finished 6th over 278m at this track beaten 9 lengths (16.78) behind Darryl's Choice in a Other on July 7. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at his last three starts, the latest when second (19.41) at Hobart. Drawn awkwardly. Others preferred.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 340m at Hobart in a handy (19.65), beating Gas Lock. Has the ability to be in the finish.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 0.8 lengths third (19.59) over 340m at Hobart. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Comments

Comes off a (19.36) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Other over 340m at Hobart. Goes well out of this box with a win and eight minors. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
