Prize Money: $685

VERONICASFANTASY (5) turned in a plain run last time when fifth at this track over 500m behind Sheffield Bella (31.14) in an A8. Tough to beat if on-song. SIGNATURE LEE (6) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths (29.76) behind Rockmount Lucy at this track. Will give a great sight again. TRULY SPECIAL (4) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including an A8 win two back (30.54) at this track. Has the ability and can find best this time. DIRTY VELVET (1) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.

Turned in a better effort over 500m at this track last start, finishing third behind Truly Special in an A8. Worked home well on that occasion and should be closing well again. Thereabouts last couple and expected to run well.

Below best last start when he finished 4th over 500m at this track beaten 4 lengths (29.98) behind Rockmount Lucy in a HCP on February 1. This looks too tough.

Going well this campaign in two runs. In the money first up at this track then finished third, beaten 6 lengths, in an A8 at this track last start over 500m (30.57). Facing a difficult assignment this time.

Latest effort finished last over 500m at this track beaten 14 lengths (31.14) behind Sheffield Bella in an A8 on January 30. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.
