Prize Money: $8,785

OPAWA POSTMAN (7) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (30.32) last time out at this track. Has never been out of the money in four starts this course. Must come into calculations. PAW BRUTUS (2) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fourth (26.71) at Warragul last time. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Can measure up this time. BLACK MARVEL (6) clocked a speedy 28.06 finishing third in a Grade 4/5 at Bendigo last start. This is tougher but looks a leading chance again. IVORY INZAI (1) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Missed the frame latest (31.11) when seventh over 525m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 FIN on October 13 over 460m at Warragul behind Panther's Way beaten 11 lengths (26.71). Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 5.5 lengths third at Bendigo but did record a brilliant 28.06 for the 500m trip. Has the ability and expected to go close again.
