Prize Money: $2,310

SKETCHY TAKEOVER (2) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 2 lengths (18.30) behind Surroundings at Richmond. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Top prospect. IMPERIAL CHOP (1) is still yet to miss the frame from three starts, winning two back before another minor placings latest when second (19.76) over 340m at this track. Expected to feature on best form. RAINING BOURBON (6) turned in a good run last time, finishing in the placings (17.47) at Dapto in a Grade 5. Lines up from box 6 for the first time. Form from his last run is proving strong. Overdue and is among the main hopes. WEEKEND SCOTCH (8) is right in the mix.
