Happy Birthday Tina Marotta

Prize Money: $8,785

COBBLE HILL (5) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (29.54) at this track. Solid record here including two wins. Makes plenty of appeal. PAW CHRISTIE (3) is having her first look at this course. Comes here an impressive winner latest at Sale in a Grade 5 in one of the quickest times of the program (28.92). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Has definite claims. LADY RAPID (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (30.31) last time in a Mix 3/4 at The Meadows. Form at the trip sound including three wins. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from six starts. Has ability and is one of the better chances. ELLIS UNIT ONE (7) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when second (25.39) at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5.

Was out of placings last time (30.31) at The Meadows in a Mix 3/4, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Looks a key chance on best form.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 570m at Traralgon. Better off looking to others.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 3.5 lengths second (29.54) over 515m at this track. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Working his way into winning form after his success on August 10 at this track over 515m. Last start was second over 450m in 25.39, behind Slick Badger. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.
