Stake: $4,032

PERIODICAL (3) Honest race when 2nd last run at Warragul but dropping in distance. In strong racing shape since coming back from a spell. Expect to go close. KNEE DEEP (6) Placed 3rd last time around here. Should be going forward early. Very competitive this campaign. Has the ability to figure. EVIL EYE (2) Ran well when 2nd last run around here and hard to fault at this trip. In top racing shape this preparation. Will be hitting the line strongly. Must respect in this event. ELECTRA OPAL (7) Landed the spoils when winning last start at this track and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Has a nice turn of foot. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value .

Started $26.00 and ran 5th last start at Warragul but has a nice advantage with a good draw. Likely to be well placed early. Back to a shorter distance. Can't have.
