Prize Money: $773

BALLYCIAN BABY (1) carved over from wide out last start and boxed on strongly to finish 0.8 lengths away in second (29.56) behind Alnwick Lottie at this track. Expected to feature in the finish again. PLEASE SADIE (4) is a well performed dog and winner of nine races who was in the minor money last time out at this track (29.46). Form here at the trip sound including eight wins. Bold showing expected. FABULOUS LEONA (3) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a 2.75 lengths winner of an A4 at this track over 480m (29.08). Rises a grade but expected to measure up. MARLFIELD ARTETA (2) is down a grade after finishing fourth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in an A2 at this track over 480m (29.77). No surprise to see him back in form.

Produced a much better performance last start when second over 480m at this track in a HCP. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has run hot time here with a 28.46 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Good effort to score last start by 2.75 lengths over 480m at this track in 29.08, beating Richies Richie. Top-three hope with the right run.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 4 lengths (29.46) in an A3 over 480m at this track. Forgive the latest run. Big chance to make amends.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 480m in an A3 at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.
