LOCHINVAR BRANDO PBD

Prize Money: $4,545

OPAWA TAZ (3) had been super consistent recording two placings in a row before she was rewarded with a win last time, scoring at Cambridge Raceway over 375m (21.42). Is usually a quick beginner. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. PORTLAND FLEET (2) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at her last four starts, the latest jumping from this same box when second in a Class 4 at Cambridge Raceway (21.52). Bold showing expected again. BABY SASS (5) boasts a strong record this journey here with six wins and four minors from 14 tries. Hit the frame latest (18.68) when second at this track in a Class 4. Can hit the frame with the right run. EVENING OUT (8) comes into calculations after placing at this track and distance most recently. Include in multiple combinations behind the top picks.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Cambridge Raceway over 375m in 21.42 last start, beating Portland Fleet. Had been in fine form, hitting the frame two times on end, before a deserved win last time. Expected to go well.

Form has been strong with wins two and three starts back. Last time out finished 2nd in a Class 4 on June 28 over 318m at this track behind Big Time Lena beaten 2.5 lengths (18.68). Brought a four run winning streak to an end last time with the minor placing. Capable of a good showing.
