Prize Money: $2,925

MOE SOUTH BANJO (3) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins. In the money last time at this track (16.92) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.3 lengths second. With a clean break looks hard to beat. NEGATIVE NIBBS (7) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (16.98) at this track behind Potent Crew in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Has a solid record from this box including three wins and a minor placing. Can measure up. RUMOUR I'M BROKE (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (16.92) at this track behind Mr. Chives in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to his credit. Can measure up. CRUISIN' GRAE (8) impressed in his fast 19.90 win last time. Looks an each way chance.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.25 lengths fifth (17.04) over 300m at this track. Major threat on best form.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
