Prize Money: $766

DROOPYS CRAFTY (1) goes very well this trip starting 18 times for six wins and eight minors. Recorded a 2.5 lengths win (29.67) in an A2 last time at this track. Looks suited and should go close. BARBIE BULLET (3) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at this track but was an A3 winner two back at this track. Can turn it around this time. DEADLY RUBEN (2) ran a quick 29.69 when filling a minor placing over 500m at this track last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance. ANNADOWN JACOB (4) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A1 at this track over 500m (29.95). This easier so don't rule him out.

Form of late has been fair. Unplaced two starts back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A1 at this track over 500m (29.95), beaten 1.75 lengths. Sure to play a major role.

Comments

Hasn't been far away in two runs. Solid last time when on speed early before fading to finish third (29.68) at this track over 500m. Should be much improved on the experience. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
