Prize Money: $8,000

OLLIES MEDAL (4) was unplaced two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished 2.25 metres away in fourth over 2200m at this track. Meets a similar line up so he is sure to be a force if the Mitch Manners improve. MIKI SANZ (1) finished fifth last start, beaten 20 metres here over 2200m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. ROLLWITHARTY (5) disappointed last time when eighth over 2200m at this circuit. Can bounce back. SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (3) disappointed last time when tenth over 1680m at this venue. Can make amends from the favourable draw.

Last start was well back in the run when 10th (Fr5) over 1680m at this track, beaten 30 m by Muzzame Mate (1:59.80) on July 5 at $91. Before that, a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr7) over 2090m at Hobart beaten 25 m by Affamato (2:35.70) on June 28 at $31. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Can bounce back.
