Prize Money: $1,530

WILL VANSON (2) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from three tries. Below best last time at Healesville (16.92) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4 length fourth. Expected to be in the finish. PAW OLYMPIA (6) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and three minors. Placed last time (22.65) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten one length. Can feature with the right run. GOLDEN BLEND (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (23.91) in a Mix 3/4 at this track. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has the ability to give this a shake. DASH EXPRESS (4) returns from a six weeks layoff and must be considered.
