Prize Money: $1,530

EXTREME DASH (6) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at this track over 300m. Expected to measure up again. HOPE IN HARDSHIP (1) turned in a plain performance last time when seventh at Bendigo over 425m behind Handful Of Cash (25.26) in a Bottom Up - Grade 7. Can measure up this time. TAKE A PHOENIX (3) missed the frame and safely held latest finishing 8th at this track following on from a win (17.36) there the start prior. Has ability and can measure up. INGA FREDDY (2) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (22.52) at Warrnambool over 390m. Looks a solid hope.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 300m. Last start finished last over 300m at this track beaten 13 lengths (17.79) behind Rumour I'm Broke in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win on February 23. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Has a maiden win to her credit but has been finding it hard to feature subsequently. Last raced when sixth over 400m at Geelong three-and-a-half months ago. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
