NIGHTRAVE REHOMING VISIT NIGHTRAVE.CO.NZ SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,455

BUSTED HANDLE (3) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 5 lengths (17.66) at this track. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Key runner on her best form. DEWY NEWS (4) jumped from a middle draw last time and could manage only fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths (17.34) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Should play a prominent role. VILI VROOM VROOM (8) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 295m (17.34). Two runs back from a spell should see him nearing peak fitness. Has ability and is one of the better chances. OPAWA BOBBIE (5) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start. Odds will be lucrative.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on February 26 over 295m at this track behind No Show Sam beaten 5 lengths (17.66) in a Class 4. Placed two back at this track. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Leading contender.

Has finished fifth at the last two runs, both at Ascot Park, the latest when beaten 6 lengths behind Diamond Felon over 457m. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Missed the frame latest (17.34) when fourth over 295m at this track in a Class 4. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Must keep safe.
