Hst Tree Services Division1

Stake: $4,585

NIFTY ROSS (6) last start finished 4th in a Grade 6 on May 20 over 515m at this track behind Croydon beaten 9 lengths (30.74). Rates a leading player and sure to be in this for a long way. INFORMANT (1) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a second place finish (19.73) at Hobart the start prior. Has a solid record from this box including four wins and a minor placing. Has ability and can measure up. INVESTED (2) recorded a nose win (19.56) in a Grade 5 last time at Hobart. Has already won two times from this draw. Looks a key chance on best figures. HIGHGATE MOLLY (4) cannot be ruled out.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 5 on May 27 over 515m at this track behind Darling Danger beaten 7 lengths (30.47). Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort. Can atone.

Has been in a purple patch of form, putting three wins back-to-back. Had plenty of support last start when he won by a nose at Hobart (19.56) beating Rate Of Knots in a Grade 5 on May 29. Flying lately and can score again.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (30.55) over 515m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but in the mix on her best form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 461m at Hobart. Hard to recommend this time.
