Prize Money: $10,095

POWER SQUEEZE (8) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 1.75 lengths win at Sandown in a handy 42.03. Draws out wide but has a good record over this journey. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. MEPUNGA BREEZE (3) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 2.75 lengths (42.45) at Sandown. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. IN BLOOM (4) last start finished 2nd on June 4 over 715m at Sandown behind MEPUNGA BREEZE beaten 2.75 lengths (42.64) in a Grade 5. Looks suited here and can measure up. CLEO'S STAR (7) is new to this trip but warrants respect.

Was out of placings last time (42.94) at Sandown in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and six places from 10 starts. Can feature in the finish.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (42.64) at Sandown over 715m. Expected to go very well.

Hit the frame at Bendigo last time when a 1.3 lengths third but did record a fast 37.87 over the 660m trip. Place prospects appear best again.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 600m at this track in a handy (34.63), beating Hey Presto. Will find this a bit tougher, happy to risk this time.
