Prize Money: $9,055

SPRING VICTORIA (2) finished fifth last time at this track but could not have been more impressive before that in her excellent 29.32 win at this track over 515m. Smart win two back and looks a key chance here. GENERAL FRANKY (5) goes very well this course and distance starting 14 times for six wins and five minors. Scored by half a length last time (29.50) in a Grade 5 over 515m at this track. Can hit the frame with the right run. VICTORY BARRY (1) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (34.72) from Box 2 at The Meadows. Hard to beat again. PAW XEROX (8) collected a minor prize last start in a close contest - must be considered.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 515m. Last start finished 5th in a Special conditions H on November 5 over 515m at this track behind Little Monkey beaten 5.5 lengths (29.83). Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Missed the frame last start when eighth and beaten 14 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Has ability but will need everything to go right.

Won his last two including a narrow win last start over 515m at this track by half a length in a Grade 5. Looks well placed to make it three straight.
