Prize Money: $2,515

HOUSIE BOB (6) turned in a fair run last time from the squeeze finishing fifth by 4 lengths (23.16). Looks the one to beat on his best form. HOW HIGH SPIKE (7) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 22.98 beating Kawasaki Girl. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Can make it back-to-back wins. IT'S A GLAM (8) goes very well this course and distance starting 16 times for eight wins and four minors. Missed the frame latest (23.01) when fourth over 400m at this track in a Grade 3/4. Looks a key chance on best figures. HOOKED ON IRAOLA (1) is among the chances again if he runs up to the latest effort.

Last start finished seventh on February 6 over 400m at this track behind Weffalee Lee Lee, beaten 9 lengths (23.24) in a Free For All. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 8 length fifth over 400m at this track. Tested under these conditions.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (23.16) at this track over 400m. Has clocked a scorching 22.5 here at this trip. Leading player.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but she does have a good record at the track and trip, including eight wins. Should be around the mark.
