Prize Money: $2,390

MAJOR ACE (1) had to overcome a collision with another runner and could manage only a distant fourth (23.09) in a Grade 4/5 over 400m at this track. Better than latest and worth another try. RIGATONI MONELLI (2) tends to take a while to wind up, missing the placings two back but running on to last time finishing second (22.67) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Form is hard to fault from this box, with a win and two minor placings from three starts. Expected to be in the finish again. TORINO (8) should get a clear run from the wide draw. Safely held last start when a 17 length 8th at Cannington (31.28). Form here at this distance is strong including six wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Bold showing expected. MAXIMUM HUGHES (6) has a solid strike rate at this track and distance.

In the money last time at this track (22.67) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 2.25 lengths second. Has never missed the frame from three starts from the draw, including a win. Looks a leading chance.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 520m at Cannington. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 1.75 lengths fourth (30.23) over 520m at Cannington. Hard to envisage a win.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, major threat on best form.
