Prize Money: $2,925

PURE SILK (1) finished fourth last time at Warrnambool but could not have been more impressive before that in her swift 25.38 win at Warrnambool over 450m. Can measure up on top win two back. GROOT BALE (4) had been in great form but missed the frame latest when seventh (26.68) in a Mix 6/7 FIN at Warrnambool. Shuffled back off the squeeze box last time and never in it. Worth another chance. KIWI FRED (7) had been super consistent recording four placings in a row before he was rewarded with a win last time, scoring at Warrnambool over 450m (25.50). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. GERALDTON CREW (2) racing over this distance brings the best out in him.

Won two starts back over 450m at Warrnambool. Last start she finished 4th in a Mix 6/7 FIN on July 23 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Kiwi Fred beaten 4.5 lengths (25.80). Draw likely to suit. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing sixth (25.06) at Traralgon last start. Awkwardly drawn and looks safely held.
