Where Else But Wenty Masters

Prize Money: $8,900

BOTH BOWERS ACE (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (29.79) in a NG at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning 16 races. Ready to return to form. SAMMY ETHAN (1) started big odds in tougher last time when finishing 6th over 520m at this track. Won an easier race the start before that at this track. Worth following up. ALI TANGO (7) has a strong record this trip with 16 wins and 11 placings from 48 starts. Missed the frame latest (30.52) when sixth over 520m at this track in a NG. Can feature with the right run.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.05) in a NG, finishing a 6 length sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and seven places from 15 starts. Key chance and should go close.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 520m in 29.92. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 520m at this track at Grade 4/5 level. Looks a solid contender.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior he recorded a strong 29.65 over 515m when went down narrowly, at The Gardens. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.

Has been racing well and scored a good win last start at Wagga on April 27 over 320m in 18.23. Not suited by the wide draw; Prepared to overlook.
