Winner AUD $14,850 - 12 runners
5f
Going: Standard
Surface: AW
SUN SAMURAI (8) tested on a synthetic surface for the first time. On his return from a lengthy lay-off. Kicked off the last campaign with a seventh at Avoca over 5½f. Will prove tough to beat. INSIGNIA (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 1/02/2025, finishing ninth and beaten 12 lengths over 7f58yards at Kyneton. Looks a winning chance. READ MY LIPS (3) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 5f at Corowa, scoring by a neck. Breaks from a wide alley but he is definitely worth including. MONSOON REINS (6) returns from a layoff of eight months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5f at Albury. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
