Prize Money: $1,980

TERRIFIC BOBBY (8) has found the minor placings here at last couple of runs, finishing second last time beaten 4 lengths (40.37). Looks suited coming back in journey. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Ready to find winning form. HOME TOWN (4) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 1.75 lengths at Angle Park in a handy 19.52 beating Allinga Alan. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. One of the key runners again. SIR DODGE (5) bolted home by 6 lengths (30.40) at Angle Park last time from box 4. Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. In great recent form and expected to measure up again. FANTASTIC HELGA (1) has a solid strike rate at this track and distance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 680m at this track. This looks too tough.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.75 lengths at Angle Park (19.52) beating Allinga Alan in a Grade 6 on April 21. Form reads well for this.
