Winner AUD $55,000 - 13 runners
1 ¼m
Going: Good
Surface: T
DEAKIN (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at Ballarat, beaten 4 lengths. Meets a stronger field but he is fitter and good enough to feature. SABAN (7) turned in a better effort to finish third last start, beaten 1.1 lengths over 1m1f at Caulfield. Sure to go well again. RUAKAKA RAIDER (8) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1m2f at Ballarat, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at Caulfield at the previous outing. This doesn't look as hard so he will prove hard to beat. HAARACAINE (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.6 lengths from the winner in third over 1m1f at Rosehill. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
