Stake: $3,674

LURE OF KILKENNY (7) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by a neck (30.29) at this track in a Grade 5 over 525m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from six attempts. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. LYN'S BIANCA (8) could not have been more impressive a few runs back in her strong 30.35 win at Wagga over 525m then has finished in the placings in both runs since. Has the ability and can find winning form again. I'M HONEY (2) found the going tougher last start when finishing 5th over 512m at Mt Gambier. Won an easier race the start before that at this track. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Expected to feature in the finish. BIG DUKE (1) is always hard to beat when drawn in this box.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Is a danger.

Ordinary effort last start when fifth over 512m at Mt Gambier. Prior to that won by 1.75 lengths at this track (30.26) beating Maddie Odd Sock in a Grade 5 on March 22. Leading chance on best form.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 460m at Warragul in a handy (25.77), beating Mr. Kia Ora. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to risk on this occasion.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 500m at Bendigo. Prepared to overlook.

Scored by a neck last time (30.29) in a Grade 5 over 525m at this track. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.
