Prize Money: $7,325

HOTEL WHISKY ONE (1) boasts a strong record this journey with 17 wins and six minors from 25 tries. Below best last time at Dapto (30.38) in a NG, finishing a 10 length eighth. Expected to be in the finish. TARAWI THERESE (8) hit the ground running off the tricky draw last start and was never headed (21.65) at Shepparton in a Mix 3/4 over 390m. Has put together a string of wins and expected to go close again. MAV REIKO (4) boasts a strong record this journey with five wins and seven minors from 14 tries. Was out of placings last time (30.55) at The Meadows in a Mix 3/4, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. SPECIAL LAD (2) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

Didn't make the placings last time at Dapto (30.38) in a NG, finishing a 10 length eighth. Strong record off the draw with two wins and two minors from five starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th over 525m at The Meadows beaten 6 lengths (30.55) behind Mepunga Shine in a Mix 3/4 on September 24. Placed two back at Ballarat. Solid claims this line-up.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warragul over 460m in 25.76. Followed that up with a minor placing over 460m at Warragul at Grade 5 FIN nine days ago. Prepared to risk this time.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 450m at Shepparton. That followed a win two back in 23.74 beating Paw Zuri over 425m at this track. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.
