Prize Money: $9,055

MEPUNGA REWARD (1) took the sit on the lead from an outside box but levelled up and drew clear to score (29.42) at Q Parklands in OPEN over 520m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Will go close again if runs up to latest. PAW PETROV (8) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 1.5 lengths from Rupee Mc Graw in third (25.59) at Grafton. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Can feature again. FLYING CURRENCY (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (30.05) last time out at this track. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Must be included in calculations. MITZI ROCKS (6) will make her presence felt on the back of recent top-three finishes.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to post a big 5.5 lengths win at Q Parklands over 520m (29.42) beating Bourne Model in OPEN on June 26. Has an outstanding 29.74 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 525m at this track in a handy (30.43), beating Lala Effie. Will find this a bit tougher, needs to find a bit more.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 515m at Sandown beaten 7 lengths (30.00) behind Schillaci in a Grade 4/5 on July 14. Hit the frame last time but will need to improve further.

Missed the frame latest (30.77) when sixth over 525m at this track in a Grade 5. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Makes appeal on best.
