Webbcon Marine

Prize Money: $2,925

MANTIS BALE (1) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when fifth at Warragul over 400m behind Special Envoy (23.42) in a Restricted WIN. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. DODGE THE DREAM (3) has been in super consistent form recently with five minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fourth (22.56) at Warrnambool. Bold showing expected. WESTAR LEO (4) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 485m behind Fluffy Mason (27.91) in a Restricted WIN. Key player if finds best. FUNKY KONG (7) can feature with the right run.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Bendigo over 500m in 28.37. Followed that up with a minor placing over 515m at Sandown at Mix 6/7 five days ago. Not suited by wide draw, not keen this time.
