Prize Money: $2,310

TENACIOUS TALKER (3) shapes well for this backing up a powerful 29.51 win with success at The Gardens over 400m last time, recording 22.66. In form and looks the one to beat again. ZIPPING NEBULA (4) was last seen getting around 320m at this track in a slick 18.22 for a 4.5 lengths win. In form and looks a leading player again. ALMOST (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (23.12) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Form here at the trip sound including four wins. Can figure in the finish.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 10 length fourth over 320m at this track. Other runners look much more appealing.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 3 lengths (22.66) over 400m at The Gardens. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.
