Prize Money: $1,575

GUS AND DODO (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (20.46) in a Grade 5 at Goulburn. Form at the trip sound including seven wins. The form out of his last race has been franked. Great chance to atone. MELTING MOMENTS (2) comes off an average performance last start when seventh at Dubbo over 318m behind Real Chance (19.25) in a Grade 4/5. In the mix. ZIPPING DALY (5) will be hard to beat with a drop in trip.

Was out of placings last time (20.46) at Goulburn in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 10 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
