Prize Money: $837

DROOPYS PROSPECT (4) is better than last start when fifth (30.35) in a OR2 at this track over 500m. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and three minor placings from five starts. Has ability and can bounce back. CRYSTAL BLACK (1) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive three back in his powerful 29.49 win at this track over 500m. Top win three back and can measure up again. HARLEQUIN ASMARA (6) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 4 lengths at this track in a handy 29.92 beating Jesse Gee James. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. SPORTING BAFTA (3) finished third two starts back before missing the placings at his latest appearance in an A1 at this track over 500m (30.26). Watch for a better run this easier company.

Comments

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A3 by 4 len at this track over 500m (29.92). Strongly fancied last time and lived right up to expectations. Stick with her.
