Prize Money: $6,000

EL LAZZAR (4) produced a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1700m at Horsham. Won't find this any harder and he can take care of this line-up. MY ULTIMATE MATEO (3) finished sixth at Kilmore two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 16 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to take out a race like this. THE NINJA (2) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1790m at Mildura. CAPTIVATE ME (1) having his first start at this track and resumes from a spell following a last start fourth over 1660m at Victor Harbor. Fresh-up can place.

Returns after six months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into fourth after a quick start, behind Lucky Bambino at Victor Harbor over 1660m in a 2yo on December 29 at $26. Solid top-three prospects.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Surething at Mildura over 1790m on June 5 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Miss Nashville at Mildura over 1790m on July 3 at $26. Hard to beat.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Sweet Gem at Kilmore over 1690m on June 18 at $2.10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind The Trawler at Shepparton over 2190m in a 3yo on June 30 at $34. Progressing well. Looks very hard to beat.

Improved last start with a solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr7) over 1700m at Horsham was 5th-5.1 at the bell, beaten a nose by Rock Poster (2:03.90) on June 22 at $7.50. Should be in the mix again.
