Prize Money: $2,925

I'M FABULOUS (4) hit the ground running from an outside draw with a fast early split, holding on for a minor placing when third and beaten at Ballarat over 450m in 25.48. Key chance in this line up. KOPACKI RIT (8) struggled in tougher grade last start after missing the jump at Ballarat, but prior to that won by 0.7 lengths at Warrnambool (25.51) beating Doongalla Mimic in a Grade 5 FIN on October 1. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from five starts. Expected to give a good account. ASTON GRANDEUR (6) sprung the lids and led but ran over and filled the minor money when second (23.36) at Horsham in Grade 5. Missed the frame only look here. Got the money at his only try from this box. Expecting another good run. KRAKEN SANDY (7) has strong credentials at this circuit over this journey.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (25.48) over 450m at Ballarat. Consistent performer from this box. Top chance on best form.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recently finished 4th in a Grade 5 on October 5 over 450m at this track behind Bandit Abe beaten 9 lengths (25.85). Won at his only start from this draw. Worth following.

Missed the frame latest (25.66) when sixth over 450m at Ballarat in a Mix 4/5 H. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Makes strong appeal.
