OPAWA APRIL (8) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (16.70) at this track. Has a strong record here at this journey including 14 wins. Goes very well from this draw with 14 wins and seven minor placings from 23 starts. Will be much improved after fresh run and expected to feature in the finish again. SUGAR FIX (5) goes very well here starting 13 times for six wins and four minors. In the money last time at this track (16.90) in a Class 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths third. Looks well placed here and among the chances.

Has the ability and expected to do much better. GOTCHA LUCK (2) was out of placings last time (17.31) at this track in a Class 5 FIN, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths.

Missed the frame latest (17.09) when fifth over 295m at this track in a Class 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from eight starts. Has ability and should be around the money.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2.5 lengths third at this track but did record an outstanding 16.90 for the 295m trip. Heading the right way looks well placed to take this out.
