Prize Money: $1,530

TINKER PAT (6) box seated before sticking on well to finish 3.5 lengths away in second (23.10) at Geelong in a Grade 5 over 400m. Makes plenty of appeal. SALEENA BALE (7) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at this track over 390m behind Tinker Dot (22.89) in a Grade 5. The form from her last run stacks up well. One of the better hopes. MR. OLAF (3) produced a moderate run last time when eighth at Bendigo over 425m behind Goosebumps Rico (24.98) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Worth another chance. BOSTON LEGAL (2) looks a chance coming off a month layoff.

Placed last time (23.10) at Geelong in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 3.5 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from 11 starts. Looks well placed and should feature.
