Prize Money: $1,530

MY MATE CHARLIE (4) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Aston Laser (22.93) in a Rank Limit - Grade 7. Has the pace to be prominent. One of the contenders. SERGEANT BILKO (1) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 4 length third (23.10) in a Rank Limit - Grade 7 at this track. Bold showing expected. PAW EZRA (2) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at Ballarat over 390m behind Chow Mein (23.00) in a T3 RSTW. Was in the money the start prior. Should be in this for a long way. Something for the Multiples: FADE OUT (7)

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (22.78) over 390m at Shepparton. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Has to do a bit more.
