Mandurah Race 3

Auto Owls Bentley (Pbd)

Stake: $2,364

CATHY'S GIRL (1) scored a 1.5 lengths win (17.41) last time, overcoming a collision in the run to claim a Novice race over 300m at this track. Expected to go close again. QUEST FOR STEPS (2) copped a check in the run last time and never threatened when seventh (23.00) in a Novice race at Cannington. Has the ability and can measure up. TINY VIOLIN (3) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when third beaten 2 lengths (17.55). Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Well placed and gets her chance. FINAU (7) returns here as an each-way chance.

Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 1.5 lengths win at this track over 300m in 17.41. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Won over this track and trip. Last start finished 7th over 381m at Cannington beaten 14 lengths (23.00) behind Elite Emu in a Novice race on December 10. Looks a strong winning hope.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (17.55) over 300m at this track. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.
