CECILIA LLOYD PBD

Prize Money: $5,364

PORTLAND CHICA (5) placed last time (18.72) at this track in a Class 5, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Has four wins already from this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. HUNTER LOU (3) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 4 lengths (18.45) at this track. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. PORTLAND MAGIC (8) has missed the frame at last two runs but could not have been more impressive the run prior in his swift 18.50 win at this track over 318m. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. BIG TIME LENA (6) was out of placings last time (19.02) at this track in a Class 5, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths. Has four wins already from this draw.

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss at big odds two back when second (18.48) over 318m at this track. Tough field and appears tested.
