Prize Money: -

PAR EXCELLENCE (1) is a handy dog who jumped from box 1 last time out and scored by a neck at Ballarat (25.31). Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Can continue the winning form. RIVERSDALE MICK (6) goes very well at the course with two wins and a placing from five starts. Scored by 0.9 lengths last time (25.16) in a Grade 4/5 over 450m at Ballarat. Can hit the frame with the right run. DID NOT (2) jumped from a squeeze box last start but was quickly into stride and led throughout to score (25.91) at this track in a Grade 6 over 460m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. SOLAR SPECTRUM (8) will have admirers after placing last time out.

Facing tougher opposition than he has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Hard to have. Others look better.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 25.40 over 450m at Warrnambool. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.
