Sale Race 5 - Ian Carter Builder (275+Rank)
GREEN FROG CAFE (5) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (25.27) in a Grade 5 at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from five starts. Can atone. VENETIAN BELLE (2) was sent out big odds last time but scored an upset win in a T3 RSTW at this track (25.17). Solid formlines coming through her last run. Can measure up again. LITTLE THIEF (6) missed the frame last time but just three runs back was a strong Grade 5 winner (24.69) at this track over 435m. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. SWEET NUGGET (1) is worth consideration.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 350m at Traralgon. Others have better credentials.
