Prize Money: $3,200

LOTS OF BUGS (1) was in the placings last time but prior to that clocked a slick 28.80 win over 498m at this track. Can measure up on top win two back. ASHY BEAR (2) has missed the frame at her last two runs but could not have been more impressive the run prior in her blistering 21.75 win at this track over 380m. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. UNTAMED VELOCITY (5) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this trip which boasts two wins. Missed the frame latest (30.95) when fourth over 510m at Rockhampton in a OPEN. Suited here and expected to run well.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.52) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a 8 length sixth. Has never missed the placings from four starts off this box. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Has finished sixth at his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 380m. Other runners look much more appealing.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 5 lengths in 22.05, beating Black Rifle. Last start finished 7th in a Grade 5/6 on May 20 over 498m at this track behind George Jetson beaten 7 lengths (29.76). Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Dual acceptor. Form has been solid with minor placings at her last four starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 380m at this track beaten 6 lengths (22.50) behind Non Stop Whiskey in a Maiden on May 23. Has ability and worth including.
