Prize Money: $3,200

I'M FREE (8) has a strong record this journey here with seven wins and a minor from 11 starts. Missed the frame latest (22.10) when fourth over 380m at this track in a Grade 3/4. Looks well placed and should feature. VILLAIN OF FIRE (3) goes very well this trip starting 17 times for seven wins and nine minors. Recorded a 4 length win (21.66) in a Grade 4 last time at this track. Can feature with the right run. EMGRAND DRIVE (1) could manage only second last time but ran strong time (21.76) at this track over 380m when beaten 5.5 lengths in a OPEN. In form and looks a leading player again. ASTON ELISHA (2) missed the frame latest (22.07) when fourth over 380m at this track in a Grade 1/2. Yet to taste defeat in two runs from this draw.

Won two starts back at this track over 380m in 21.85. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 380m at this track at Grade 1/2 level. Scored two on the trot prior to last start. Can return to form.

Lifted to win two runs back and scored again last start over 380m at this track (21.66,) beating Organised Kaos. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Missed the frame latest (22.59) when eighth over 380m at this track in a OPEN. Strong record off the draw with three wins and four minors from seven starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Hit the frame latest (21.91) when second at this track in a Free For All. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Looks a place chance at best.
