Prize Money: $1,530

RELAX MATE (7) comes off an average run last start when fifth at Geelong over 400m behind Tricky Disco (23.29) in a Grade 5. Has winning claims on his best figures. WARRIOR JACK (1) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (23.27) at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Has performed well from this box with a win and five minor placings to his name from nine starts. Expected to feature in the finish. NALA'S MANTIS (2) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at this track over 400m behind Livin' Lavish (23.87) in a Grade 5. Comes through a solid form race last start. Bold showing expected. ONCIDIUM (6) was a surprise last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Missed the frame latest (23.27) when fourth over 400m at this track in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minors. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Missed the frame last start when eighth and beaten 8 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at Traralgon three back. Has ability but will need the right run to feature here.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Traralgon over 350m. Last start finished 3rd on July 6 over 350m at Traralgon behind Collinda Blinder beaten 3.5 lengths (20.37) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Thereabouts recently and definitely worth including.

Was out of placings last time (23.29) at Geelong in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 350m at Traralgon. Hard to have this time.
