Prize Money: $8,785

NO EAR TRINDALL (8) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 1.5 lengths back in second (29.62) at this track in a Mix 6/7 over 515m. Leading chance again. MEPUNGA VELVET (1) has a strong record this journey with two wins and a minor from six starts. Missed the frame latest (29.91) when fifth over 515m at this track in a Mix 6/7. Can feature in the finish. HUGO ROSE (2) proved too good last time out claiming his maiden success at Sale over 435m (24.56). Likely to be in the finish. TURN UP TURBO (7) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Did a good job two starts back at Geelong to win by 2.75 lengths in 22.79, beating Paw Oppa. Last start finished 5th on March 5 over 460m at Geelong behind Still Believe beaten 15 lengths (27.13) in a Rank Limit - Grade 6. Well placed and among the chances here.

Easy winner showing plenty of speed to score by 6 lengths in a Maiden last start at Wentworth Park, recording a brilliant 29.63 over the 520m journey. Harder here but will be in this for a long way.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 1.5 lengths second (29.62) over 515m at this track and making it two placings on end. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.
