Prize Money: $760

LIMESTONE FIZZ (4) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths (29.75) behind Tell On Olivia at this track. Can go on with it. STRAIGHT SHOT (2) jumped from the same trap last time when a 1.5 lengths second (30.09) at this track over 500m. Harder here but expected to feature again. MELBURY CURLY (3) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 29.81 beating Clairkeith Candy. One of the key runners again. JOIN IN (1) has strong claims after a top-three finish in good time last time out.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 695m at this track. Sure to be thereabouts again.

Comments

Form of late has been fair. Unplaced two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 500m (30.09), beaten 1.5 lengths. Better effort last time and is a great chance to score.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at her last three starts, the latest when second (29.75) over 500m at this track. Has run blistering time here with a 29.54 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 500m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Others make more appeal.
