Race 9

Prize Money: $653

IRRELEVENT (2) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 2.25 lengths into second (30.38) at this track in an A8 over 500m. Comes through a solid form race last start. One of the contenders. AIRLIE ISABELLA (4) is going well, filling a minor placing two back then was a 2.5 lengths winner of an A10 at this track over 500m (30.40). Goes up in grade but has found form and not to be underestimated. SLY ASH (5) had trap 4 and was game in defeat when only 1.5 lengths from Sharp Surprise in second (30.55) at this track. Can measure up. MINSTRELS FIVE (3) 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 A7 at this track over 500m (30.38). This easier and can improve sharply.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 500m. Won't find this any harder. Hard to beat with even luck.
