Prize Money: $2,400

VALENTIA BLUE (2) jumped favourite and was too quick with an all-the-way win last start (23.54) at this track in a P5 over 407m. Looks to have an edge on most of these. JACKPOT JUNIOR (5) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 407m behind Abraxos (24.24) in a Grade 5. Placed at his previous run. Key runner on best form. CLEAR BLUE SKY (1) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back. Something for the Multiples: RACHEL SPARKLES (6)

Missed the frame last start when fifth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Looks a leading contender on best and expected to bounce back.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing eighth (24.70) at this track last start. Drawn out wide and needs to find best form to feature.
