ATHENS AURA (5) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Sandown over 595m behind Paw Quantum (34.91) in a Restricted WIN H. Rates on top in this line up. RED HOT PRETTY (4) filled a minor placing last start at Shepparton behind Doongalla Boy (26.03) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Can measure up. HURRICANE MIST (1) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (31.08) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning six races. In the mix. SURF'S UP (8) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Just been plugging away and needs to improve after being unplaced in six tries. Last start 6th over 500m at Bendigo. Others make more appeal.
