Prize Money: $1,530

DESTINI LORENZO (8) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Shepparton behind Big Boy Cabang (26.16) in a Grade 5. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Top prospect. NED THE KNIGHT (1) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from four tries. Was out of the placings last time (26.32) at Shepparton in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 11 lengths. Among the main chances. ZIPPING SWAZI (7) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (25.01) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Can hit the frame this time. STELLA ROSE (5) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Comments

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (24.80) over 425m at this track. Has a decent strike-rate off the draw and in the mix on his best form.
