Prize Money: $3,875

BABY BEETS (2) turned in a solid run last start over 500m at Bendigo finishing 4th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (28.19). Returns to a course where he has performed well. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Worth another chance. SLICK BADGER (5) flew the lids from out wide with an impressive turn of foot, going on to clock 25.36 when a 0.8 lengths winner over 450m at Ballarat last time. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Sure to measure up. PAW VOLTRON (1) will give backers a sight. Something for the Multiples: NIGEL DEVERE (4)

Has finished fourth at the last two runs, both at Sandown, the latest when beaten 7 lengths behind Paw Orenthal over 515m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Safely held last time over 515m at Sandown but was a half a length winner two back over 525m at The Meadows. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around Ballarat over 450m in 25.36, claiming a Grade 4/5 by 0.8 lengths. Was strongly supported and ran right away with it last time. Follow up.

Safely held last time over 450m at Ballarat but was a 1.5 lengths winner two back over 450m at Warrnambool. Is a danger.

Missed the frame latest (35.19) when fifth over 595m at Sandown in a Grade 4/5. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from eight starts. Others appear better placed.
