Prize Money: $1,530

NORTON BALE (8) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (22.71) at Ballarat behind Nala's Mantis in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Makes plenty of appeal. BUNNI BALE (1) comes off an average run last start when sixth at Shepparton over 390m behind Paw Rex (23.11) in a Grade 5. Must be included in calculations. ASTON KILLARA (2) comes off an average effort last start when seventh at Healesville over 300m behind Memphis Mack (17.33) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. SMOOTH RANGER (7) is not to be discarded.

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (23.11) in a Grade 5, finishing a 13 length sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from nine starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 400m at this track. Can't make much of a case this time.
