525 Yds (A5)

Prize Money: $552

CHERRYGROVE ORCA (2) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 5.5 lengths away in second (29.94) at this track in an A5 over 480m. One of the leading chances. BALLYGIBBA DOVE (6) jumps from trap 6 for the first time after placing latest at this track (29.84) in an A5. Expecting another good run. SNUGGIE DASH (1) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fifth (30.07) at this track. Leading chance. MELLON SARAH (3) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.
