Race 10

Prize Money: $855

FLICKERING BELLE (1) hit the ground running off the inside draw with a scorching early sectional but run over late and missed the frame when a 4 length fourth (29.99) over 500m at this track. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from seven starts. Has ability and looks hard to stop. COOLEMORE POPPY (5) recorded her best time this course and distance latest, finishing a 1.3 lengths second behind Hitthelids Stevo in 29.91. Bold showing expected again. SALACRES SAHARA (3) has a strong overall record having four wins and seven places from 15 starts including a last start second (29.68) over 500m at this track. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. COURTY ASH (6) is hard to fault of late and is a strong top-three hope again.

Hit the ground running with a sizzling early sectional but gathered in late to finish a 4 length fourth (29.99) at this track. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just a head into second over 500m at this track. Cannot be ignored based on that sound recent effort.
