Prize Money: $3,800

LEMON SLICE (1) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 498m behind He's Peeking (29.60) in a OPEN. Was in the money prior to that. Rates on top in this line up. NEED A TOW (8) recorded a win over 380m at this track in a powerful 21.78 last start. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. FEDERAL TOMMY (2) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 498m behind Total Franky (29.73) in a Grade 5/6. Placed at his previous run. Worth another chance. PARTY ANYTIME (6) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three at this track and distance most recently.
