Prize Money: $2,335

RUNAWAY SAM (2) was out of the placings last time when fifth at this track (23.51) but scored three back at Bendigo (24.36). Looks the one to beat on his best form. MAJOR FORTE (5) has a strong record this journey with two wins and a minor from five starts. Hit the frame latest (30.26) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Can hit the frame with the right run. BELLA RORY (1) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when third (23.57) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Leading player again. SOFT WHISPER (8) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Showing promise and was a winner three back. Last start missed the frame when a 2.25 lengths fifth (23.51) at this track. Looks a definite winning chance on best and given another chance.

Won two starts back at this track over 400m in 23.27. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at this track at Grade 5 a week ago. Can't recommend in this field.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (30.26) at this track in a Grade 5. Has first look at box 5 this time. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
