Prize Money: $3,360

BLACKPOOL WINTER (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing eighth (26.40) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Has ability and can bounce back. LUSH HOUR (2) has a strong winning strike-rate here having won two of three starts. In the money last time at Sandown (29.85) in a Free For All, finishing a 4.5 lengths third. Suited here and expected to run well. LITTLE FLOWER (3) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (25.59) at Warrnambool. Solid record here at the distance winning five races. Expected to be in the finish again. Something for the Multiples: PAW PALMER (6)

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (29.85) at Sandown over 515m. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 2, scoring three times. Go close.

Hit the frame again last time when third (29.80) at Sandown, making it three minor placings in a row. Drawn awkwardly. Has ability and should run well.
