275Mtrs (Or)

Prize Money: $1,288

CROKERS DARWIN (4) missed the frame last time at Sheffield but the start prior rocketed around 280m at Sheffield in 16.11. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. KNOTMOR ACE (3) is having his first look at this circuit. In the money last start when third (16.03) at Sheffield over 280m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Bold showing expected. DROOPYS FREEBIE (5) filled a minor placing last start at Doncaster behind Swift Jeromo (27.97) in a B1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Expected to be in the finish again. HOBO CANYON (2) placed last start and is in the mix again.
