Montrose Iga Liquor Veterans (300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $2,925

SAILPLANE (5) struggled in tougher grade last start at this track, but prior to that won by a long neck at this track (19.65) beating Tropic Man in a Grade 5 on April 3. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Has ability and can bounce back. SPECIAL SIAN (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (19.70) at this track. Form here at the trip sound including eight wins. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings eight times from 14 starts. Can do much better this time. CRUELLA (7) broke from the inside draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths (19.52) behind Ring A Houdini at this track. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Expected to be in the finish again. HAPPY BUDDHA (2) is right in the mix.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.70) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed eight times. Looks well placed and should feature.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a half a length third (16.89) over 300m at this track. Thereabouts recently and definitely worth including.
