Prize Money: $1,530

ZARI BETTINA (1) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth at The Meadows, but was among the placings at this track three back. Has the ability and can find winning form this time. SIMPLY FRIENDS (2) was quickly into stride and raced on speed before sticking on for a minor placing second (19.64) at Healesville in Bottom Up - Grade 7. Failed to fire only run here. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Will give a great sight again. MIA BLONDE (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (25.92) last time in a T3 RSTW at this track. Should be thereabouts. PRESENCE (4) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.
