Prize Money: $10,095

ETHANOL SECRET (6) jumped from a middle draw last time and could manage only fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths (30.22) at Geelong. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. PAW LOVISA (3) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths (30.16) behind Tripped Out at Geelong. Can feature again. PAW ZOLTIN (7) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Finished third (35.06) at this track last time making it four minors on end. Will give a great sight again. PASS MARK (4) has a solid strike rate at this distance.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 0.8 lengths second (30.16) over 520m at Geelong. In form and can return to the winners' list.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he does have good record over this track and distance. Safely held last time but can do far better here.
