Sportsbet Green Tick (275+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

MY GRACIE (8) was in trouble close to the inside last time over 390m at Shepparton and failed to finish. No luck latest and worth another chance. GOOSEBUMPS RICO (3) was prominent throughout when winning in the fastest time of the card two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 6th and beaten 4 lengths at this track (23.16). Has the ability to give this a shake. HERBIE (4) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Arka Air (23.17) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Has the early speed to give a sight. Winning chance. UNIVERSE (1) can sneak into the finish.

Was out of placings last time (17.29) at Healesville in a Grade 5, finishing eighth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and two places from 10 starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (23.17) at this track over 400m. Rates among the chances this time.

Good effort to win last start by 0.7 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy (23.06), beating Nicked Again. Will find this a bit tougher, shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Last start finished sixth in a Grade 5 on June 23 over 400m at this track behind Whisky Point, beaten 7 lengths (23.84). Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Was sixth in a Grade 5 two back then given a eight months break after failing to finish last time at Shepparton. Key player on best form and expected to bounce back.
