MISS CUTIE STAKES PBD

Prize Money: $4,364

ALTRUISM (3) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at this track over 527m. Handled the step back up to a middle distance well last start. Makes plenty of appeal. OPAWA KELSEY (7) scored two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 5.5 lengths 4th at Cambridge Raceway (22.31). Better suited to this distance and can measure up this time. ACES (5) latest effort finished 4th on April 26 over 527m at this track behind Opawa Sugar beaten 5 lengths (31.43) in a Class 3. Can hit the frame with the right run. ALPINE JEWEL (6) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run. Recently won a four dog trial (21.70) at Cambridge over 375m.

Comments

Working her way into winning form after her success on April 9 at Cambridge Raceway over 375m. Last start was second over 527m in 31.48, behind Opawa Kelsey. Fought on last time. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at Cambridge Raceway (26.58) in a Class 1/2, finishing a 8 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed 14 times. Place prospects appear best.

Going well prior to missing the frame last start when well-fancied, finishing fourth in 22.31 over 375m at Cambridge Raceway. Won a similar race two starts back..
