Prize Money: $2,925

FIERY DUEL (2) comes off an average performance last start when seventh at Geelong over 400m behind Talk Is Cheap (23.40) in a Grade 5. Should be very hard to beat this time. PRESTIA (1) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 3rd at Healesville over 300m. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from six starts. Leading chance. NEW LINE (6) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Grade 5 winner three back (22.96) at Warragul over 400m. Has the ability and expected to do much better. HOLTORF BALE (8) is among the chances again if he runs up to the latest effort.
