Prize Money: $783

A FINE TIME (6) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 30.08 beating MORNING DAWN. Expected to be right there at the finish again. MORNING DAWN (4) is a promising dog in the frame at 54 of 114 starts including 25 wins and was in the minors again latest (30.12) over 500m at this track. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. ACOMB BLOSSOM (5) generally performs well from this box. SPORTSMANS ZARA (3) hit the frame with a third two runs back then claimed an A5 by a head at this track over 500m (29.63) last time. Facing tougher but in form and not to be underestimated.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 500m in an A4 at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 1.75 lengths in 29.71. Last start finished 4th on May 6 over 500m at this track behind Rough Amiago beaten 4 lengths (29.88) in an A4. Well placed here and can atone.

Solid performance after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A4 by 0.5 len at this track over 500m (30.08). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
