Prize Money: $1,530

WILLOW SKYE (3) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and two minors. Was out of the placings last time (25.85) at Ballarat in a Restricted WIN, finishing eighth and beaten 8 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. SMILING BEE (1) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Gazing Collinda (24.45) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Can feature again. RUXTON SHINE (2) resumed in a Grade 5 at Shepparton and finished eighth over 390m (23.56). Sure to be fitter. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. LIKE A BLAZE (8) looks an each-way chance.

Bounced back last start after failing to finish two starts back when she finished 2nd on April 9 over 425m at this track behind Gazing Collinda beaten 4 lengths (24.45) in a Grade 5. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Ballarat over 390m. Last start finished last on April 3 over 390m at Shepparton behind Reema Bale beaten 17 lengths (23.56) in a Grade 5. Looks a strong winning hope.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (23.19) over 400m at Warragul. Boxed out wide and will need the right run to feature.
