Prize Money: $1,530

MARVULLI (1) has missed the frame at his last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (24.34) at Bendigo in a Mix 6/7. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. BACK TALK (4) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (24.85) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win at Bendigo over 425m. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. ZARI BETTINA (8) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (25.89) at this track. The form from her last run stacks up well. Key player if finds best. AUNTY FAYE (2) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. Last start finished seventh over 450m at Ballarat, beaten 9 lengths. Better off looking to others.

Comments

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 450m this track in 25.89. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
