450Mtrs (Or)

Prize Money: $1,253

START THE ENGINE (1) was well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional, going on to clock 26.76 in a 5 length win at this track over 450m. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Expected to be right there at the finish again. SIGNET TESS (5) is progressing well scoring last time out (27.12) at this track and bringing up her 13th career win. Strike rate this course and distance strong having won five of 10 tries. Capable of going well again. ANTIGUA MARIO (4) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 7 lengths at this track in a handy 27.17 beating Moneygall Norman. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Leading chance again. NECESSARY EVIL (2) placed from this box last start - cannot be ignored.

Followed a minor placing at Swindon two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 2.5 lengths, last start in a OR at Perry Barr over 480m (28.93). This might be too rich.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 476m in an A3 at Swindon. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Form of late has been fair. Unplaced two starts back at Towcester then finished third at his latest appearance in a D2 at Towcester over 270m (16.88), beaten 8 lengths. Decent form of late but faces a stiffer test this time.
