Stake: -

PUNXADONNY (5) Resuming after a spell. Set the pace when winning by 1 3/4L last time here but racing in stronger company. Flawless this campaign with 2 wins from as many starts. Genuine threat. HOLIDAY CASH (2) Struggled with the pace when 6th last start here. Overlooking the last run and matched against lesser competition. Has plenty of early speed. One of the top hopes. YOU ROTTEN JOKER (1) Started off strong but faded towards the end when 3rd last start at the track and has a nice advantage with a good alley. Showing great form this campaign. Suitably placed in this race. SHUFFLE (3) First up from a 38 week break. Won easily by a margin of 3 1/4L last start at this track but stepping up to a higher level. Should be very competitive and is a genuine threat.

Felt the pinch late when 3rd beaten by 3 3/4L last start around here and has minimal work to do from the draw. Will be hitting the line strongly. Nice price for the value seekers.

Jumped at $5.50 and was well beaten when 6th last start at this venue. Overlooking the last run and up against a less competitive field. Has a good draw. Will go close here.

Resuming after a 38 week spell. Made a mess of them when winning by a margin of 3 1/4L last start around here but up against stronger opponents. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Below standard effort when 7th last time at this track and up against tougher competition. Nomar Arroyo Bueno provides some weight relief. Rather have another day.
