Prize Money: $2,925

ASTON ALERT (7) ran below best last time finishing fifth (17.37) over 300m at Healesville in a Mix 6/7 H. The form out of his last race has been franked. Tough to beat if on-song. SONG BY FERNANDO (1) had been racing well with a Maiden win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at Healesville. Can hit the frame this time. NOVA ROSE (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (23.61) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Has ability and can measure up. GRIT (6) collected a minor prize last start and must be considered.

Showing promise and was a winner three back. Last start missed the frame when a 10 length eighth (17.62) at Healesville. Better than last run and looks set to run well.
