Prize Money: $1,530

BLACK TYCOON (7) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (25.97) in a Grade 5 at Ballarat. Has a good record at this journey. Ready to return to form. JUNGLE FIREBALL (8) turned in a plain effort last time when seventh at this track over 400m behind Paw Vanna (23.77) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Better than last start and can bounce back. BLOW TORCH (1) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (26.39) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Warrnambool. Rates a winning chance on best. AMRON BUSTER (2) cannot be ruled out.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (23.16) over 400m at Warragul. Aided by a low draw and capable of a better result.

Comments

Last start finished 7th over 400m at this track beaten 14 lengths (23.77) behind Paw Vanna in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 on August 11. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
