Stake: $3,629

DR. ASHER (4) has a strong record here with three wins and two placings from seven starts. Scored by 6 lengths last time (22.31) in a Grade 4/5 over 400m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. FANTASTIC ZOHAN (1) is a well performed dog and winner of seven races who is worth forgiving after finishing out of the placings at Healesville (17.02). Form here at the trip excellent including two wins. Should play a prominent role. JUNIOR'S MATE (2) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a second place finish (26.13) there the start prior. Solid record here at the distance winning seven races. Comes through a solid form race last start. Leading chance. BEAR HAND (3) placed last time and is worth some thought. Something for the Multiples: DR. ASHER (4)

Missed the frame last start when fifth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Rates strongly and can return to winning form.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.5 lengths third (16.84) over 300m at Healesville and making it two placings on end. Has been around the mark of late. Keep safe.

Good effort to win last start by 4.5 lengths over 515m at Sandown in a handy (29.90), beating Drop Of Ink. Solid chance with even luck.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 400m at this track in a handy (22.98), beating Frisco Joe. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
