Prize Money: $2,925

AUSSIE WAGYU (8) jumped from the pinch but quickly to the lead and gave a sight when second and beaten 0.7 lengths (24.14) at Traralgon in a Grade 5 over 425m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Winning claims. HAPPY AND NUMB (2) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 2 lengths into third (23.57) at Horsham in a Grade 5 over 410m. Yet to miss the placings in five runs from this box, including three wins. Can feature again. MYRNIONG STORM (1) was in the minor money with a useful 23.99, finishing second in a Special conditions Veteran race at Bendigo last start. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. KENSINGTON FLYER (5) is in the mix after placing at a big quote last time out.

Comments

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an eye-catching winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by 2 lengths in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at Geelong. Rates a chance if runs up to recent winning time.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (25.83) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Others appear better placed.

Placed last time (24.26) at Bendigo in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 5 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from eight starts. Looks one of the chances.
