Prize Money: $890

ALNWICK BETTY (2) finished fifth in an A7 over 480m at this track (30.11) last time out. Finished fifth in her only other try in a handicap. Key chance this field. Can atone. A BIT OF MEGAN (5) missed the frame latest when sixth at this track (30.11) but scored four back at this track (29.17). Key runner on best form. BRAMBLE EMERALD (6) continued her winning streak last start, successful by 0.8 lengths when started off 1m at this track over 480m (29.52). Will start off scratch. A talented handicapper who has 16 wins and 14 placings from 47 runs from the staggered start. Sure to be prominent. WANTED BOCKO (4) was having first try in a handicap when started off 3m, finishing fifth (30.59) over 480m at this track. Key chance on best and expected to improve this time.

Wasn't beaten far last start making handicap debut when starting 12m from scratch, beaten a neck over 480m at this track (29.57). Tackles another handicap here and has a 11m start on the scratch draw. In form but this is a test.

Moderate effort to finish fifth last start in an A7 over 480m at this track (30.11). Finished fifth in her only other handicap appearance. Jumps with a 8m advantage. Should prove very tough to beat.

Makes her debut in a handicap and will start off 6m. Returned with a moderate fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths, (29.80) at this track over 480m. Talented enough but prefer to see.
