Prize Money: $2,490

SOLAR RUSH (1) is a progressive type who recorded his 9th career win last time out (23.02) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Can make it back-to-back wins. ZIPPING GRANGER (5) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Kiss Me Augie (30.68) in a Grade 5. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MY MOON SHADOW (7) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (22.37) at Gosford behind Paper Shredder in a Grade 3/4. Hard to beat again. REBEL FORCE (4) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.
