Wobbly Chook Cup Final F

Prize Money: $7,310

FIRE ME UP (1) was a hot course and distance winner last time, claiming a Grade 5 in a convincing 19.82 and a new PB here. In form and rates on top again. BRICK AND STICK (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and eight minors from 15 tries. Comes off a (20.01) win last time, scoring by 6 lengths in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 1.75 lengths second (20.21) over 350m at this track. Should be around the mark.

Won again and recorded an impressive time after running them ragged to make it two on the trot at this track over 350m (20.01). Rates a leading player on recent form and will go close again.

Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing second in 25.45 at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Will need plenty of luck.
