Watch Pgr On Sky Sports Racing Stakes

Prize Money: $1,037

DROMBEG ANGEL (2) hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 480m at this track in 28.75. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back. OPERA BOY (5) turned in a solid run last start over 480m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 1.75 lengths (29.49). Can figure in the finish. BRAMBLE ELVIS (1) produced a moderate effort last time when fifth at Star Pelaw over 590m behind Killieford Goram (36.73) in a IV. The form out of last race has been strong. Deserves plenty of respect. BRUNSSUM BUBBLE (4) missed the frame latest (29.57) when fourth over 480m at this track in a OR1. Has four wins already from this trap.

Missed the frame when fifth at over 590m Star Pelaw at his last run four months ago. Looks a key chance while fresh.

Below his best last time over 480m at this track (29.57) in a OR1, finishing 9 lengths away in fourth. Boasts good form here at the journey with five wins and four minor placings from 15 tries. Among the chances.

Good effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A2 by 1.3 len at this track over 480m (29.31). Likely to find this too tough.
