Prize Money: $3,340

ASCEND HIBISCUS (8) was out of the placings latest but three back was a Grade 5 winner in quick time (24.12) at Bendigo in a Grade 5. Can make amends this time. REALITY PIE (5) had a low draw last time over 425m at Bendigo but was in traffic and failed to finish. Returns here after a ten weeks spell. Must include in calculations. SANTORINI BALE (7) produced a moderate effort last time when sixth at this track over 525m behind Paw Kattia (30.97) in a Grade 5. Should play a prominent role. NEENA BALE (1) is right in the mix.

Poor last start but ran a better race two back when fourth over 400m at Geelong. Others make more appeal.
