Prize Money: $1,575

CREEPING TIGER (3) has missed the frame at his last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (19.53) at Bulli in a Grade 5. Can make amends this time. MAGNIFICENT (6) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 6th and beaten 7 lengths at this track (30.57). Likely to be about the mark. CHEEKY CHEESE (5) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at Bulli following on from a third place finish (19.50) there the start prior. Worth another chance. SKEDADDLE LOUISE (4) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Wagga over 525m. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on October 21 over 520m at this track behind Gypsy Grace beaten 7 lengths (30.57). Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Latest effort finished 4th on October 28 over 365m at this track behind Hot Spark beaten 12 lengths (21.29) in a Grade 3/4. Has run a slick time here with a 20.72 PB at the distance. Worth including.
