Prize Money: $2,925

SMALLER ACTS (2) rocketed out of the inside draw with a strong early sectional and gave a sight but had to settle for a placing, finishing third (25.79) at this track over 450m. Can find winning form. MAGIC SCOTCH (4) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing second and beaten 0.9 lengths (25.67) behind Montana Icon at this track. Leading player again. OFF THE BEER (1) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 3 lengths (22.47) in a Mix 6/7 at Ballarat. Overdue and gets his chance. GOOD ODDS MARIO (7) is worth including.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 3 length second over 390m Ballarat in 22.47. Should be right in the finish.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 6 length third over 450m at this track, clocking 25.79. In form and can return to the winners' list.

Latest effort finished 2nd over 450m at this track beaten 0.9 lengths (25.67) behind Montana Icon in a Restricted WIN on April 28. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

In the money last time at this track (25.89) in a T3 Grade 7, finishing a 2.75 lengths third. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Others rate better this time.

Did a good job two starts back at Warragul to win by 5.5 lengths in 26.06, beating Twisted Fantasy. Last start finished 6th over 435m at Sale beaten 6 lengths (25.89) behind Parumba Cha Cha in a Restricted WIN H on April 30. Major threat on best form.

Missed the frame latest (30.88) when seventh over 525m at The Meadows in a Mix 6/7 FIN. Placed at all two starts from this draw. Looks one of the chances.
