Sale Race 1 - Happy Birthday John Bicker (300+)
DR. AURORA (7) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a 3.5 lengths second behind Apple Rose in 24.73. Expected to push the clock again here. DR. QUIBBLE (4) is still a maiden after 12 runs but rarely far away, the latest finishing out of the placings when fourth at this track. Has ability and is one of the better chances. ALFIE AARDVARK (1) turned in a better effort at Warrnambool last start, finishing third behind I'm To Blame (22.92) in a Maiden. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. The form from his last run stacks up well. Expecting another good run. PROBLEM SOLVER (2) has been freshened and can sneak into the frame on his best form.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (22.92) at Warrnambool over 390m. Comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.
