Prize Money: $3,360

DEWANA STAR (1) could manage only second at this track last time but turned heads when posting a lightning 18.78 over 350m at this track the start prior. Can return to winning form here if runs up to time two back. WINKING WILLIE (5) finished well back at this track last time when a 3.5 lengths fifth (19.26) but recorded second best time of the card when winning three back. Has a good record here at this journey. Worth following up. PAPA EASY (7) goes very well at this journey here having never missed the frame including seven wins and four placings. Hit the frame latest (30.18) when third at Sandown in a Grade 5. Can hit the frame with the right run. MORNING (3) should be in the finish fresh from a five weeks break.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Looks a definite winning chance on best and given another chance.
