Prize Money: $1,530

PAW NIKKI (7) was below latest but prior to that a Mix 6/7 winner in quick time (22.56) at this track in a Mix 6/7. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. JEFF THE MAN (3) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 390m behind PAW NIKKI (23.27) in a Mix 6/7. Shapes as one to consider. POPCORN MISS (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (23.15) last time in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Has ability and can atone. SHARON'S LASS (8) among the chances again based on last run here.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished seventh on March 3 over 390m at this track behind Saint Cassidy, beaten 14 lengths (23.71) in a Mix 6/7. Can't recommend against this lot.

Latest effort finished 6th on March 3 over 390m at this track behind Paw Nikki beaten 10 lengths (23.27) in a Mix 6/7. Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (22.82) at this track over 390m. Has been thereabouts of late and is among the chances.
