Prize Money: $1,530

MIGHTY HERCULES (1) was in the minors two back (26.48) at this track but ran below best last time at Healesville, finishing 8th. Solid record here at the distance winning 11 races. Can atone. YOUNG RUFUS (8) is in consistent form, jumping from this same box when a 2 length second in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at this track and making it back to back minors. Key chance on best form. AWE PEANUT (2) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at this track, scoring by 5 lengths (26.43). Form should stack up again here. WARRIOR TOMMY (3) can measure up with the right run.
