Prize Money: $3,290

SKINNY MARIE (5) flew the lids from out wide with an impressive turn of foot, going on to clock 29.51 when a 1.5 lengths winner over 515m at this track last time. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. SLICK AND SLAY (1) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 2nd at Gunnedah over 340m. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Expected to feature. ASH TRAY CHANGE (8) ran below his best last time finishing sixth (18.02) over 324m at Richmond Straight in a Grade 3/4. Has a good record at this journey. Comes through a solid form race last start. One of the better hopes. NO SHARES (7) is always a threat when he races at this journey.

Working her way into winning form after her success on December 11 at Gunnedah over 431m. Last start was second over 340m in 19.95, behind Dam Exciting. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Hit the frame latest (22.18) when second at Gosford in a Grade 4/5. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Will need the right run.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (30.90) over 525m at Taree Super Track. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need a little luck to feature.
