Prize Money: $860

SLINGSHOT DI (4) had been going along well winning an A5 three back then placing at this track before missing the frame latest when fourth (29.58) at this track. Has the ability and can find winning form this time. GREENWELL BOLT (6) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (28.93) at this track behind Slingshot Blue in an A2. Has the pace to be prominent. Leading chance. KAZRONSTEVE (5) finished 5 lengths away in second last start over 480m at this track but in a quick 28.94. Bold showing expected again. ALNWICK CASTLE (3) makes his handicap debut and will break from the 9m mark. Could only manage sixth last start over 480m in an A4 at this track (29.79). Have to include among the hopes.

Is struggling to find form this time in. Modest effort to finish fifth two runs back at this track then only managed fifth, beaten 7 lengths, last start in an A8 at this track over 480m (30.49).
