Prize Money: $1,530

RHEA RIPTIDE (1) showed good pace from out wide and was prominent throughout before fading out of it when 6th at Warrnambool in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Has a good record here at this journey. Ready to return to form. MAURITIAN LUCAS (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at Bendigo over 425m. Leading chance. ROOSTER LEGS (3) has mixed form but was in the money three back and wasn't far away last time at Geelong when fifth (23.46) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Key player on best and worth another try. THREE VOTES NICK (4) is right in the mix.

Comments

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (23.02) over 390m at Warrnambool. Boxed out wide but is in the mix.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
