Prize Money: $2,925

GRAY GROUPER (8) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (22.32) at Ballarat behind I'm Too Messy in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Sure to be about the mark. HARD STYLE ROBBO (3) turned in a plain performance last time when eighth at Shepparton over 390m behind Ari Gold (23.06) in a Special conditions Veteran race. Placed at his previous run. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings six times from 10 starts. Worth following up. KRAKEN BABE (6) goes very well this course and distance starting seven times for three wins and three minors. Hit the frame latest (24.51) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Looks one of the chances. SIMPLY NED (1) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 425m. Last start finished last on July 3 over 425m at this track behind Ripped Paige beaten 5 lengths (24.60) in a Grade 5. Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 400m at Warragul. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Was out of placings last time (23.06) at Shepparton in a Special conditions Veteran race, finishing eighth and beaten 14 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed six times. Has ability and should feature.

Finished third at big odds last time (27.94) over 485m at Horsham. Drawn awkwardly. Has to do a bit more.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 425m in 24.19. Followed that up with a minor placing over 425m at this track at Grade 5 a week ago. Has been around the mark last couple and should make her presence felt.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 450m at Ballarat in a handy (25.70), beating Tickets. Will find this a bit tougher, needs to find a bit more to test these.
