Stake: $3,068

GRID GIRL (5) spotted a start but wound up strongly to place when 4.5 lengths second (18.37) at this track in Grade 4/5. Key chance in this line up. ANJO PRINCE (6) has a strong record this trip with 10 wins and eight placings from 30 starts. Hit the frame latest (18.44) when third at this track in a Grade 4/5. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. SHADY COYOTE (1) has been hard to follow lately, running seventh (18.88) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Well placed here and can atone this time. PAW VERA (8) dominated last start. Must be respected.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (18.88) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and six places from nine starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2 lengths in 18.39, beating Wow It's Me. Last start finished last on July 10 over 320m at this track behind My Friend Bec beaten 13 lengths (19.01) in a Grade 4/5. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.

Latest effort finished 3rd in a Grade 4/5 on July 10 over 320m at this track behind My Friend Bec beaten 5.5 lengths (18.44). Has a superb 18.16 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 401m in 22.92 last start, beating Mabel's Way. In form and is right in the mix again.

Comments

Last start finished eighth over 340m at Bulli, beaten 6 lengths (19.91) behind Deliberation in a Grade 4 on July 12. Will find this a little easier. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
