Sportsbet Green Tick

Prize Money: $1,530

CATCH MAXWELL (7) ran below best last time finishing seventh (23.60) over 400m at this track from Box 3. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with four wins from five starts. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. RUTH'S COMMANDER (1) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (26.61) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. One of the better hopes. WHISPERING TIGER (6) was out of the placings last time when seventh at Healesville (17.78) but scored four back at this track (23.22). The form out of his last race has been franked. Key runner on best form. MIDNIGHT SHIMMER (3) hit the frame here last start and can sneak into the finish again.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (23.31) at this track over 400m. Has ability and can run well.

Last start finished 7th on August 21 over 300m at Healesville behind Ascend Hibiscus beaten 5.5 lengths (17.27) in a Grade 5. Below her best last time but looks well placed here. Worth another chance.
