Race 7

Prize Money: $668

STRIDEAWAY HONEY (5) looks overdue for a win having finished in the minors at her last four runs, the latest when third (15.50) at this track. Form at the trip sound including six wins. Happy to have her on top this line-up. KNOCKBOY CURRAGH (1) has missed the frame at his last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (15.38) at this track in a D1. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. YOUARETHEREASON (4) tackled far tougher grade latest but ran very well to hit the frame when 3rd (15.61) at this track in OR. Won an easier race the start before that at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Hard to beat again. DUPALIGHT BOY (6) is in top form with back to back wins. Claimed a D2 two back then scored by a head in a D2 last time at this track over 262m (15.42). Up another notch here but latest effort enough to test this field.
