Prize Money: $8,785

ASSASSINATOR (4) has a strong overall record having four wins and five places from 13 starts but was out of the money last time when fifth (30.86) over 525m at this track. Looks the testing material here. LOCHINVAR THOR (6) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at Bendigo over 425m behind Canya Talk Now (24.42) in a R/A FIN. Was in the money prior to that. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. SOLAR SPECTRUM (2) comes off a fast 25.33 placing at Shepparton over 450m. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. PAW VARNA (8) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 525m at this track in a handy (30.73), beating Lush Hour. Will find this a bit tougher, better off looking to others.

Missed the frame latest (30.19) when fourth over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Has two minors from three starts from box 3. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Last start finished 5th in a Restricted WIN on July 18 over 525m at this track behind Azzurro beaten 11 lengths (30.86). Should be right in the finish.

Last start finished 5th over 425m at Bendigo beaten 11 lengths (24.42) behind Canya Talk Now in a R/A FIN on July 10. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (28.65) at Sale over 510m. Has been around the mark last couple and should make her presence felt.
