Prize Money: $2,095

BLUE MARGUERITE (2) hit the frame last time at this track but just a few starts ago ran slick time when scoring over 312m at this track in 18.17. Rates a top chance if runs up to time three back. SLIPPERY WITCH (6) was below best last time at this track (22.72) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4 length fifth. Has four wins already from this draw. Looks suited here and can measure up. LUCY'S CHANCE (1) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 22.45 beating Chronic. Should feature again. DUNDEE PIPER (8) is worth some thought after a surprise placing last start.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Grade 4/5 on February 8 over 383m at this track behind Lucy's Chance beaten 4 lengths (22.72). Placed two back at this track. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.

Finished second last start (18.20) at big odds over 312m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. One of the better hopes.
