Prize Money: $1,750

SAMURAI MIND (1) has been in sparkling form, last time showing brilliant early pace and proving too slick around this track over 312m in 17.94, making it three wins on end. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Looks to have an edge on most of these. FEED THE FLAMES (8) comes here off a speedy win over 383m at this track in 22.34. Expected to feature again. TANAYA (2) comes off an average run last start when sixth at this track over 383m behind Slippery Witch (23.10) in a Grade 3/4. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. Key player if finds best. BOSTON (7) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Has been in a purple patch of form, putting three wins back-to-back. Had plenty of support last start when he won easily by 6 lengths at this track (17.94) beating Fundora in a Grade 5 on May 11. Flying lately and can score again.

Was out of placings last time (23.10) at this track in a Grade 3/4, finishing sixth and beaten 11 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Looks a leading chance.

Missed the frame latest (23.31) when eighth over 383m at this track in a Grade 3/4. Has two wins and six placings from 13 starts from the draw. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Backs up after winning by 1.3 lengths at this track (18.28) beating Aston Mystic in a Grade 5 on May 14 four days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Narrowly beaten last time at this track when only a nose from the winner but did record a fast 22.25 over the 383m trip. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.
