PGR On Sky Sports Stakes

Prize Money: $760

BALLYCIAN BOY (4) had his second look this course and distance latest and improved on his time claiming an A4 win in 29.05. In winning form and can measure up again. HIGHVIEW MENTOR (3) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a 2 length second (29.16) in an A3. Has the ability and looks a key chance. HARDWICK ATHENA (1) boasts a consistent overall record including 13 wins from 53 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when third (29.24) over 480m at this track. Looks well placed here and has the ability. Go well. LASTMINUTEDOTCOM (6) missed the frame two runs back then won at his latest appearance by one length at this track over 480m (29.27). Rises a grade but expected to measure up.

Well beaten when resuming over 480m at this track, finishing fifth (29.38) and beaten 5 lengths. Others make more appeal.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 2 lengths into second over 480m at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.

Showed fast pace early after leading at this track over 480m (29.05). Is two from two and and looks tough to beat again.

Good effort to score last start by one length over 480m at this track in 29.27, beating Alnwick Ava. Must be a winning chance again.
