Prize Money: $2,925

AKINA SARI (3) has a strong record this track and trip with four wins and two placings from nine starts. Comes off a (24.49) win last time, scoring by 4 lengths in a Grade 5 over 435m at this track. Rates a leading player. MISS MY BROTHER (4) could manage only a 3.5 lengths fourth last start over 400m at Warragul but in a solid 22.67. Harder here but expected to measure up. PLAYBACK (7) turned in a moderate run last time when fifth at this track over 435m behind Oddly Cool (24.92) in a Grade 5 H. Was in the money the start prior. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Has the ability to give this a shake. SAND DUNES (8) justified the favourite's tag last time and is a major player again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 350m at Healesville. Happy to risk in this.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (22.67) over 400m at Warragul. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
