Prize Money: $10,095

ASTON MACHINE (3) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 4.5 lengths (29.87) at this track in a Grade 5 over 525m. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. The one to beat again. URANA ORBIT (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (34.76) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Form is hard to fault from this box, with a win and two minor placings from three starts. Should be about the money. HECTOR DARCY (2) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at Sandown following on from a second place finish (35.07) at this track the start prior. Has a good record here at this journey. Worth following up. ENGELKE ROAD (7) can measure up with the right run.

Caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a 4.5 lengths win at this track over 525m in 29.87, making it two wins on end. In top form and can make it three straight.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 595m at Sandown. Happy enough to avoid.

Good effort last time when second (35.30) over 600m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.

Missed the frame latest (34.96) when fifth over 600m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Suited here and expected to run well.
