Race 2

Prize Money: $807

MINEOLA SURPRISE (5) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 4th and beaten 1.75 lengths at this track (30.17). Has winning claims on his best figures. UNANIMOUS ALI (1) chased the lead early from the inside and boxed on well to finish third, beaten 4 lengths (30.00) at this track in an A4 over 500m. Bold showing expected. SHOTGUN JIM (3) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 500m (30.20). Deserves another chance this class. TOMMYS GOODTIME (2) was in the money last start as favourite - poses a threat again.

Finished third last start over 500m at this track behind Droopys Playgirl in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Worked home well on that occasion and should be closing well again.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.3 lengths into third over 500m at this track. Heading in the right direction and well placed to be very competitive.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 500m in an A3 at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 1.5 lengths in 30.04. Last start finished 4th on June 7 over 500m at this track behind Millbank Jojo beaten 1.75 lengths (30.17) in an A4. Well worth another chance.

Form slipped last start when he finished last in an A4 on June 8 over 500m at this track behind Broadstrand Noah beaten 5 lengths (30.56). Likely to struggle this time.
