Prize Money: $8,785

AMRON LUCY (2) clocked a respectable 23.77 when filling a minor placing over 425m at Bendigo last start. Hard to top on the time from last start. ELUSIVE CURL (3) has recorded back to back wins, last time scoring at Warragul over 460m by 1.5 lengths (25.92). Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Capable of going well again. PAW DAMON (4) is a promising type who notched his 4th career success when too good (30.09) at The Meadows last time. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. DR. AZURE (1) generally performs well from this box.
