Sportsbet Green Tick

Prize Money: $2,925

SPRING ESPRESSO (5) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by half a length at Warragul in a handy 26.07 beating Galloping Red. Got the money at her only try from this box. The one to beat again. DR. FALLON (7) turned in a moderate performance last time when sixth at Traralgon over 425m behind Aston Giovanni (24.71) in a R/A FIN. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Bold showing expected. PAW VINE (8) comes off an average run last start when fifth at this track over 435m behind Springer's Boy (24.76) in a Grade 5. Worth following up. PAW DANGER (3) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fifth (23.16), beaten 6 lengths. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts.

Was out of placings last time (26.32) at Warragul in a Grade 5 H, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Could manage only fifth last time but turned heads the start prior when he recorded a respectable 22.78 over 400m when went down narrowly, at Warragul. Should be in this for a long way.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by half a length over 460m at Warragul in a handy 26.07, beating Galloping Red. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.
