Prize Money: $7,325

MATT LOCH (2) hit the frame latest (19.13) when second at this track in a Free For All. Has seven wins already from this draw. Expected to be in the finish. TARAWI THERESE (7) is a super honest type rarely out of the placings, including wins at her last two on end, the latest at this track (19.10). Has an impeccable record here. Looks suited and expected to run well. ASTON FANTASTIC (8) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and two minors. Missed the frame latest (19.34) when fourth over 350m at this track in a Free For All. Looks a key chance on best figures. CHAVERO (1) is worth consideration after filling a hole at big odds last start.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an impressive winner scoring by 2 lengths in a Free For All at this track and recording a dynamic 19.22 over the 350m journey. Can feature on best figures.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.5 lengths second at this track but did record an excellent 19.13 over the 350m journey. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 300m in 16.54. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at Warragul at Grade 4/5 five days ago. Form from this box is very strong including two wins. Winning hope with the right run.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 400m at Geelong. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Eye-catching performance to score by a neck in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a fast 19.34 over the 350m trip. In form and must include in calculations at odds.
