Race 8

Prize Money: $753

YOUGO JENNY (2) continued her winning form with another strong run to make it two on the bounce, scoring at this track over 500m (30.28). Ideally placed to take this out. MERTONABY LAD (6) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage fourth (30.43) at this track. Can figure in the finish. SLIPPY QUEEN (4) resumed in an A4 at this track and ran into the frame when second over 500m (30.35). Sure to be fitter. Expected to feature again. WICKHURST JOHN (1) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Comments

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 500m at this track. Before that won by 1.3 lengths at this track (30.13) beating Gin For Lisa in an A4 on January 21. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by half a length in 30.30. Last start finished 4th in an A4 on February 11 over 500m at this track behind Broadstrand Noah beaten 2 lengths (30.43). Better than that and worth following up.
