525 Yds (A7)

Prize Money: $413

WITCHES FRANCE (6) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 480m behind Only Jane (30.45) in an A7. Looks the one to beat on his best form. MURLEYS JIVE (4) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth at this track, but was among the placings at this track three back. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. BACKSTORY (1) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Donals Dream (30.18) in an A7. Has the pace to be prominent. Bold showing expected. SLANEYSIDE BABY (5) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fifth (30.22), beaten 4 lengths.
