Hector Fawley At Stud

Prize Money: $3,340

TIGER ROCKS (1) finds it hard to break through. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when third (30.67) at this track. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Has performed well from this box with a win and 11 minor placings to his name from 17 starts. Can find winning form. ATHENS AURA (2) rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (25.75) at Shepparton over 450m. Will give a great sight again. WINDORAH (5) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at Shepparton following on from a third place finish (25.80) there the start prior. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. HEATHCOTE RUPEE (3) will need to run right up to last start to feature again.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (25.75) over 450m at Shepparton. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Strong performance to post a big 4.5 lengths win at Sandown over 515m (29.87) beating Vera Jakit in Grade 5 on August 31. Has claims if at his best.

Won at Launceston over 515m two starts back but then was a little disappointing last start, fading at the end of 525m at this track. Happy to risk in this.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (25.80) at big odds over 450m at Shepparton. Has a squeeze box to navigate but is among the better hopes.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 0.8 lengths at Bendigo (28.42) beating Chic In Paris in a Grade 5 on August 28. Not keen, needs to lift.
