Prize Money: $1,530

MANDOLIN STORM (4) goes very well this course and distance starting 11 times for four wins and five minors. Hit the frame latest (24.44) when second at Bendigo in a Grade 5. Appeals as a leading chance in this. ON THE RIVER (7) is better than last start when fifth (22.53) from Box 6 at Shepparton over 390m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Leading chance. PUT IT TOGETHER (3) failed to come into contention last start after missing the jump at this track, but prior to that won by 3 lengths at Healesville (16.82) beating Hawk Magic in a Grade 5 on May 15. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. In the mix. PLUTONIC (6) comes under notice as a past winner at this course and distance.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.27) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fifth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (22.90) over 400m at this track. Looks a solid contender.
