Sportsbet Green Tick

Prize Money: $2,925

SHE'S SALTY (7) made light work of the tricky draw with a fast early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing third (23.01) at this track over 400m. Capable of going well again. WHY NOT AVA (2) flew the lids from the middle with a slick turn of foot and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fifth over 300m Healesville in 17.01. Key player if finds best. SMOOTH PANTHER (3) boasts a solid strike-rate from this box.

Finished third at big odds last time (23.57) over 400m at this track. Boxed the fence this time. One of the better hopes.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (23.01) over 400m at this track. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
