Winner AUD $99,000 - 12 runners
1 ¼m
Going: Good
Surface: S
LEVERAGED BUYOUT (7) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 5 lengths over 1m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with five wins and three minor placings from 13 starts. Big chance once again. MALDINI (8) could only manage tenth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. MERIMBULA (9) started at 8/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing ninth and beaten 15 lengths at this track over 1m. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. GRINZINGER TUNDRA (5) broke his maiden six starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 1. 3 lengths into second over 1m at this track. One of the contenders with the blinkers added.
