Prize Money: $1,005

RIO LULU (7) jumped from this box last time and also the same course and distance when a 7 length second (17.41) in a Grade 6/MDN. Solid beginner and with a good start should have clear running out wide. Has the ability and expected to go close. DIVERGENCE (1) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at this track over 300m behind Ellsworth (17.47) in a Grade 6. Scored at her previous run. Speedy beginner who should be in the action early off the inside. Bold showing expected. HE'S A MONTY (8) ran below his best last time finishing fifth (17.26) over 300m at Murray Bridge in a Grade 6. One of the better chances. JUST LIKE FRED (4) has top-three aspirations after placing last time.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 1.3 lengths at this track (17.30) beating Spring Selena in a TG1-4W on October 28. Risky starter, can bounce back. One of the main chances.
