Prize Money: $3,340

GRASS IS GREENER (2) goes very well here including two wins. Below best last time at Sandown (35.15) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 1.5 lengths fourth. Expected to go close. PUBLIC HOUSE (1) was game in defeat off the inside draw last start, finishing second and beaten half a length (22.93) behind Paw Wanda at this track. Expecting another good run. BEANIE THIEF (5) is rarely out of the finish, recording 11 places from 21 starts. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing second (27.60) at Horsham. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can feature again. KORDA INTENTION (7) is a last start winner in very good time. Worth consideration.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 545m. Last start finished 4th in a Restricted WIN on October 26 over 595m at Sandown behind Saffron Monsoon beaten 1.5 lengths (35.15). Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when second (23.39) over 400m at Mt Gambier. Awkward draw to overcome. Has to do a bit more.

Finished second last time (27.60) over 485m at Horsham. Awkward draw to overcome. Solid top-three prospects.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 6 lengths over 460m at Geelong in a handy 25.92, beating Macchiato. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Comments

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 460m at Geelong beaten 11 lengths (26.42) behind Zipping Yoshi in a Maiden on October 30. Can't recommend against this lot.
