Prize Money: $3,235

WAGYU BOY (4) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 450m behind Heroic Federer (25.55) in a Grade 5. Solid beginner who can clear the tricky draw. Has ability and is a key runner. ZIPPY TIPPY (8) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Blow Bayou (25.78) in a Grade 5. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Expected to be in the finish again. EPIFANIO (1) was among the minors three back at this track then missed the frame the last two, but drawn box 1 this time where he has two wins. Safe beginner and drawn well on the inside. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. MARCO MARCO (2) is new here but can play a major role.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (25.80) in a Mix 1/2/3, finishing a 7 length fifth. Has two wins and two placings from six starts from the draw. Has ability and should be around the money.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (22.64) over 390m at Shepparton. Drawn a inside box but will need everything to go his way.

Fast starter. Last start finished 6th on July 3 over 450m at this track behind Heroic Federer beaten 6 lengths (25.55) in a Grade 5. Happy to overlook recent efforts. Well placed and gets chance to find best.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 450m at this track. This looks too tough.
