Prize Money: $1,530

I'M HONEY (5) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 3 length third over 390m Warrnambool in 22.39. Racing well and deserves a win. FRED'S FURY (7) finished third (22.99) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 6th at Horsham. Likely to be thereabouts. FIND THE SUN (1) has a strong record this trip with 11 wins and eight placings from 27 starts. Was out of placings last time (20.16) at Traralgon in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. BURN AROUND (2) looks a chance coming off a year layoff.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (20.16) over 350m at Traralgon. Rates among the chances this time.

Found trouble in the run here last time and failed to finish before going for a year spell. Has ability and can do much better here fresh.

Was in a purple patch of form before proving a little disappointing last start, finishing fifth at Ballarat over 390m. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Latest effort finished 6th on September 8 over 410m at Horsham behind Groot Bale beaten 9 lengths (23.98) in a Grade 5. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, likely to find this too tough.
