Stake: $3,239

MELANIA BANNER (1) Picked up nicely to win last start at Bulli in 22.48s over 400m and strong performer at the distance. Going well this campaign. Will give a big sight. BACK TOMORROW (5) Weakened to finish 6th last time at Wentworth Park. Overlooking the last run and ideal distance as proven previously. Going well this preparation but will be down in distance. Fights on bravely so consider. SILVERTREE BRAD (2) Set the tempo when winning last start at the track in 18.36s over 320m. In fine form since coming back from a break. Must respect in this event. MAXIMUS MERIDIUS (7) Tailed off to finish 6th last run at the track. Giving another go here. Should be swooping on the field late. Must respect.

Strong effort to the line to win last start at Bulli in 22.48s over 400m and suited at this distance in the past. Looking sharp on the track this campaign. Will attract plenty of interest.

Odds of $61.00 and didn't find the line when 6th last run at Wentworth Park and back in trip. Should muster plenty of early speed. Appears tested.

Started at $3.50 and was well beaten when 6th last time at Wentworth Park. Overlooking the last run and proven performer at this distance. Finishes off strongly. Will go close here.
