525 Yds (A7)

Prize Money: $557

EMPOLEON (6) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (30.54), beaten 6 lengths. Can discover winning form. RATCHIES JEDI (5) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at this track over 480m behind Larkins Freya (30.65) in an A7. Has ability and is one of the better chances. MAIZYS KASH (1) jumps from the inside trap. Latest effort finished 4th on October 15 over 480m at this track behind Ballydan Grange beaten 10 lengths (30.57) in an A7. Rates a key chance on best figures. GORTKELLY TRISHA (4) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Looks up against it this time.
