Prize Money: $1,530

MONARCH (1) flew the lids off the inside draw with a fast early split and gave a sight, finishing a 6 length third (22.54) over 390m at Shepparton. Comes through a solid form race last start. Likely to feature again. ABRACADABRA (5) has a strong record this track and trip with eight wins and five placings from 23 starts. Below best last time at this track (22.86) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length fourth. Among the main chances. DASHING DEREK (4) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (22.94) at Geelong behind Zipping Choi in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Expecting another good run. FISHY BUSINESS (8) cannot be dismissed although new to this venue.

Showed good improvement when second behind Zipping Choi at Geelong last start over 400m (22.94). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 7th on August 17 over 350m at Traralgon behind Frequency beaten 3.5 lengths (20.70) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at Warragul. Well placed and among the chances here.
