Prize Money: $3,360

UNLEASH THE LION (1) was out of placings last time (26.12) at this track in a Mix 3/4, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Has already won out of this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. DIPLOMAT (2) was well off top last time, finishing 5th (22.99) in a Grade 5 at this track. Has never been out of the money this course and distance including two wins. Great chance to atone. ESCAPING BINDI (4) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at Sandown over 515m behind Paw Gertrude (30.35) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Shapes as one to consider. HERE COMES JOJO (6) can run a bold race on best form.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but he does have good record over this track and distance. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss two back when second (34.90) over 595m at Sandown. Has a low draw but needs to find best form to feature.

Has finished fifth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 7 lengths behind Dapper Chap over 460m. Mixing her form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.
