Ed Fountain Removals (250+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

BE COURAGEOUS (6) boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 1.5 lengths (17.26) behind Hawk Magic at Healesville. Top prospect. BOMBER'S JACK (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (25.06) last time in a Grade 5 at Traralgon. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Leading chance. MIDNIGHT SHIMMER (3) jumped quickly from box two to score by a space (23.30) two back then drew the same last time and could manage only a 8 length 5th at Ballarat (26.12). Key player if finds best. LITTLE THIEF (2) is worth including.

Was in traffic last time here and failed to finish before heading out for a ten weeks spell. Chance to atone but prepared to risk this line-up.
