Brighton Race 1

Star Sports Brighton Owners Series Handicap

Prize Money: $12,177

POP DANCER (2) Set the pace when winning by 2L last time here and will appreciate a good draw. Should race on the speed. Trainer has gone for the winkers on, take note. Strong chance. MERRIMACK (1) Kept chasing when 4th last time at Windsor and up against a less competitive field. Tongue tie on could be an important change but rises in weight. Open to improvement and has a show in this field. REBEL STAR (3) Displayed good finishing speed when 2nd beaten by 2L last time here. Been in the placegetters each attempt this preparation. Has claims. SILKY ROBIN (5) Was making up some late ground when 5th last start at Chepstow. Trainer has gone for the blinkers on, take note. Place makes best appeal.
