Stake: $3,641

ROCKET BALE (4) filled a minor placing last start at Warrnambool behind Werris Bale (22.17) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. One of the leading chances. BUCHAN (1) finished second (29.77) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 7th there. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Leading chance. JONATHAN'S DREAM (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (26.27) last time in a Grade 5 at Warragul. One of the better chances. SOUTHERN LAW (8) is likely to have admirers.

Latest effort finished last on June 24 over 515m at this track behind Jamie Bale beaten 6 lengths (30.14) in a Grade 5 H. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
