Prize Money: $2,400

QUEST FOR BUZZ (7) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 0.6 lengths at Geelong in a handy 26.32 beating Paw Phantom. Well placed and will be tough to beat. MISHAWAKA (3) was last seen getting around 380m at this track in a handy 21.87 for a 5 length win. Bold showing expected again. ELSA ESCARGOT (1) missed the frame last time when sixth (23.10) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Bold showing expected. STRAWBERRY WINE (2) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Latest effort finished last over 380m at this track beaten 12 lengths (22.66) behind No More Beer in a Grade 5 on August 21. Some good form emerging from that last run. Among the chances.

Solid performance to win by 5 lengths at this track over 380m (21.87) beating Party Don't Stop in Grade 6 on June 26. Was in the money three on end before breaking through last start. Stick with her.

Last start finished third in a Grade 5 on August 7 over 380m at this track behind Cawbourne Slick, beaten 3.5 lengths (22.29). Other runners look much more appealing.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (26.32) over 460m at Geelong. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.
