Prize Money: $2,925

SIMPLY FRIENDS (6) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from four tries. Comes off a (20.28) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Has the ability and should feature. DYNAMITE DOUG (1) was strongly fancied last time but finished second (20.33), beaten 0.8 lengths. Racing well and deserves a win. AMBANI (2) ran below best last time finishing sixth (23.31) over 400m at Warragul from Box 5. Has a solid record from this box including three wins and a minor placing. Worth following up. URBAN BITES (7) is another with top-three prospects.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 2nd on August 31 over 350m at this track behind Simply Friends beaten 0.8 lengths (20.33) in a Grade 5. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
