Prize Money: $1,530

GOTHAM THANOS (5) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (20.40) at Traralgon. Should bounce back. MAGGIE STORM (8) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (23.76) at this track. Will give a great sight again. SMOOTH RANGER (1) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (26.98) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. MT. VIEW RUPEE (4) collected a minor prize last start over this track and distance - must be considered.

Most recent effort finished last over 400m at Geelong beaten 15 lengths (23.62) behind Little Flower in a Grade 5 on August 21. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior went down fighting when second (22.55) over 390m at Shepparton. Has a low draw and capable of a better result.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (23.59) over 400m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Top-three aspirations.
