Stake: $3,674

ASTON GOZO (1) produced a moderate performance last time when seventh at this track over 525m behind Canya Jive (30.83) in a Grade 5. Can make amends. BETSIE BALE (2) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at Bendigo over 425m behind Ziva Bale (24.80) in a Grade 5. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from seven attempts. Can do much better this time. NIZHONI (7) comes off an average run last start when fifth at Horsham over 485m behind Wren Bale (27.82) in a Grade 5 H. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Has the ability to give this a shake. ALMOST IMMINENT (8) is a last-start placegetter who will have admirers.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.80) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length sixth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Key chance and should go close.
