Race 8

Prize Money: $733

SAKA CRACKER (6) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 2 lengths behind Unknown Biker in 28.97 and recording a new PB here. In form and looks a leading player again. SALTERNATOR (3) found some support last start but struggled into fifth (29.41), beaten 6 lengths. Finished second the start before. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from eight starts. Key runner on his best form. FLICKERING KING (5) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 3.5 lengths into third (29.20) at this track in an A6 over 476m. Must be included in calculations. IN IT TO WIN IT (1) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten second (29.28) in an A6 at this track last time out.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 0.6 lengths into third over 460m at Valley. May find this a bit too tough.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 476m in an A6 at this track. The recent effort suggests he is ready to win.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 2 lengths, last start in an A6 at this track over 476m (28.97). Decent recent form so demands respect.
