Prize Money: $2,335

MONEY PIT (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (23.37) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Solid record here winning six races. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to his credit. Worth another chance. MINECRAFT FUSION (2) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a nose (23.33) behind It's A Tease at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to his credit. Hard to beat again. STOP IT ZIPPER (3) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 3rd at Gosford over 388m. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Expected to feature. MINTER MULWEE (8) was in the money last start from this box and should feature again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.37) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 9 length seventh. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Looks suited and should go close.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a nose second (23.33) over 400m at this track. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when second (22.94) over 400m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Looking to others.
