RACE FIVE
Making his Aust debut after arriving from the Shaky Isles, BETTATHANIDEAL (3) lies up here last start winner back in June as a 3YO when scoring over the 2200m at Ascot Park. Given 2 trials to prepare for his 1st local appearance, he faces a stern test against some proven performers at just his 5th career start.
IM NO OUTLAW (8) returned from a spell in fine style when finding the front over the 2138m from gate 4 and once in control holding on to score by 3m. Forced to do it tough when 2nd up, the effort told and saw him fade late when down the line behind DAPPER. With a soft trip, he can bounce back.
THE MONEY BALL (9) is in nice touch with 2 wins from his past 3 outings, the latest when finishing over the top from gate 10. If the heat is on throughout, look for him making a closing play.
SAINT KILDA BEACH (1) will take good benefit from her latest appearance when stepping out for her 1st run as a 4YO. Striking trouble, she did well to grab the bronze and with options is in the mix.
