Batteries U Need Final F

Prize Money: $3,835

GOODBYE MATE (1) ran one of the quickest times of the card latest with an impressive 6 lengths win (20.60) at this track. Form at the trip sound including 10 wins. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from six starts. Expected to be right there at the finish again. OUT EXPRESS (2) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 21.00 beating Chasing Pennies. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. WHISPER BARK (7) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 0.8 lengths (20.86) behind SAINT MIKEY at this track. Expected to be in the finish again. UNBOTHERED (8) scored last time and can measure up again.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at his last three starts, the latest when second (20.68) at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Has to do a bit more.
