Prize Money: $1,530

HELLO COOPER (2) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (24.84) last time in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning five races. Has winning claims on his best figures. SWEET BEGONIA (3) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 2.5 lengths (19.92) at Healesville. The form out of her last race has been franked. Worth following up. SLINGER (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 425m behind Ethanol Vision (25.20) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Bold showing expected. PAW JANELLE (6) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Was out of placings last time (19.92) at Healesville in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Key chance and should go close.
