Prize Money: $3,360

HOT SAKI (1) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 3.5 lengths (22.36) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Will go close again if runs up to latest. LAID BACK LASS (8) had won two starts on end before the winning streak was broken with a second placing (22.60) last time at this track. Will go close here with a clear run. PAW XENA (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing eighth (25.10) at Sale over 435m. Can measure up this time. THAT'S MY COUSIN (4) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sale (25.10) in a Free For All, finishing a 6 length eighth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from 11 starts. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 390m at Ballarat. That followed a win two back in 22.70 beating Aston Fumiko over 400m at this track. Happy to risk this time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Ballarat over 450m. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on January 31 over 460m at this track behind Zipping Everdeen beaten 6 lengths (26.38). Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Jumped well at Ballarat two runs back then again settled forward and finished second at this track last start over 400m. Well-performed from this draw. Key chance on best form.
