Busselton Race 2

Libby Mettam Mla Sweetheart Series Discretionary Handicap Ss Pace

Prize Money: $5,937

STATE MY CASE (5) finished fourth last start, beaten 10 metres at this track over 2400m. This should be an easier assignment so she is a major player. MINOR CATASTROPHE (8) recorded another strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to finish third over 2400m here. Will appreciate a return to Busselton where she is always tough to beat. Leading hope based on those recent outings. WANDERING GIRL (7) was out of the money two runs ago then overcame a break to get the prize by 7 metres over 2400m at this circuit a week ago. Live chance again in a similar assignment. IMAHERO (3) was out of the money two runs ago then broke and finished fourth last start over 2400m at this venue, coming home 30 metres from the winner. Won't find this any harder and she can bounce back.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 2265m after showing early pace at Albany beaten 9 m by Capture The Moment (2:54.40) in NR 45 to 48 on January 18 at $3.20. At the run before 4th (10m Fr1) over 2400m at this track beaten 16 m by Follow My Stride (3:08.80) in No NR M on January 17 at $4.20. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.
