Prize Money: $1,530

REV KEN (3) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Warrnambool behind Reiko Comet (26.03) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Can find winning form. ELEVATE (5) was well back throughout but attacked the line to hit the frame when a 6 length third (26.33) at Geelong in Bottom Up - Grade 5. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to be in this for a long way. ALFIE TANGO (2) has a strong record this journey here with two wins and a minor from five starts. In the money last time at this track (25.88) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length third. Looks one of the chances. RAVEN XANDER (7) is worth including.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd in a Special conditions race on October 2 over 425m at Bendigo behind Midnight Thunder beaten a head (24.44). Deserves a win and is expected to run well again.
