Prize Money: $2,925

MOTORSPORT (6) is a handy type who notched his 4th career success when too good (22.54) from Box 6 at Geelong. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. PAW ENSLEY (1) had a tricky draw last time when running fourth (23.60) over 410m at Horsham in a Grade 5. Unbeaten from this box in three starts. Bold showing expected. MINTER BLINDER (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (25.19) last time in a Grade 5 H at Sale. Solid record here including two wins. Key player if finds best. PATRIOT NIAMH (7) looks an each-way chance.

Missed the frame latest (25.19) when eighth over 435m at Sale in a Grade 5 H. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from four starts. Makes strong appeal.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (17.01) at big odds over 300m at Healesville. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need the breaks to go her way.
