Prize Money: $3,340

HONEY BUNNY (1) was out of the placings last time when sixth at this track (31.14) but scored five back at this track (30.22). Better than last start and worth following up. HIGHWAY HOOLIGAN (2) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 525m behind Big Duke (31.03) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. FENELLA (3) showed good pace from out wide and was prominent early but began to paddle and faded out of it when 7th at this track in Grade 5 company. Cannot be left out. SECRET EMGRAND (4) took up a forward position and go the job done last time out. Right in the mix.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 6th in a Restricted WIN on March 26 over 525m at this track behind Desirability beaten 14 lengths (31.14). Happy to overlook recent performances. Well placed and gets chance to find best.
