Prize Money: $1,530

SERENITY GIRL (1) finished second (22.65) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 8th there. Has a good record here at this journey. Worth another chance. HARTLAND DUKE (5) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 390m behind Paw Hull (23.11) in a Grade 5. A big run wouldn't surprise. TINKER RAYS (2) comes off an average run last start when sixth at this track over 390m behind Bone Shaker (22.90) in a Grade 5. Expected to run well. SALMON SPRAY (7) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance – sure to have admirers.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.90) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks a leading chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (23.00) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing a 8 length sixth. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Makes appeal on best.

Last start finished last in a Grade 5 on January 5 over 390m at this track behind Paw Hull beaten 10 lengths (23.11). Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Comments

Last start finished fifth over 400m at Geelong, beaten 7 lengths (23.11) behind Paw Xanthie in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 on January 6. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
