Prize Money: $3,685

NANGAR NUGGET (3) has a strong record this trip with six wins and four placings from 12 starts. Scored by 4.5 lengths last time (25.09) in a Grade 5 over 450m at this track. Has the ability and should feature. FOR MERCY SAKE (2) has a strong record this trip with four wins and six placings from 11 starts. In the money last time at this track (25.38) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths second. Makes strong appeal on best. GOLDSTAR JOBLIN (1) missed the frame latest (25.64) when fourth over 450m at this track in a Grade 5. Has already won four times from this draw. Looks one of the chances. GOLDSTAR KLEIN (7) placed here at this trip last start - cannot be ignored.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (25.64) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fourth. Goes very well off the draw boasting four wins and two places from seven starts. Suited here and expected to run well.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 4.5 lengths second at this track but did record a slick 25.38 over the 450m journey. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.

Eye-catching performance to post a big 4.5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a dominant 25.09 over the 450m journey. Hard to top on that run.

Comments

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on March 15 over 450m at this track behind Most Determined beaten 2.5 lengths (25.43). Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
