Prize Money: $881

ALWAYS KIDDING (1) was game in defeat off the inside draw last start, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths (29.22) behind Alnwick Nidge at this track. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including three wins, from five starts. Winning claims. LIGHTING LEWY (2) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a 2.5 lengths third (29.29) in an A6. Bold showing expected again. ALNWICK AVA (3) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fourth (29.64) in an A6 at this track. Can hit the frame this time. TEDDYS LASS (5) missed the frame fresh, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths, in an A5 at this track over 480m (29.67). Easier here and no surprise to see her back in form.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A6 at this track over 480m (29.29). Racing well and is the one to beat.

Could only manage fifth when resuming last start over 480m at this track in an A5 (29.67). Will strip fitter and is one of the contenders.
