Prize Money: $10,467

ANGELO J FRA (2) Fought on well to win a tight contest last start at this track. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 attempts. Expecting to settle positively. Good prospects. SPORTSKEEPER (6) In the money when 3rd last run at this venue. Right in this. SKYLINE BLUE CHIP (1) Came in 3rd last run at this venue and gets a favourable alley. Should come to hand quickly. Open to improvement and has a show in this field. SHOREVIEW (4) Ran 2nd last start at the track. Should muster plenty of early speed. Can surprise and by no means out of it.

Tidy run when 3rd last run at the track and has drawn the rails. Shows good early pace. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Towards the rear last run at the track but getting better in recent performances. Will be trying to topple them late. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Unsighted last time at the track but form has been improving over recent runs. Would be more keen on the chance of others.
