Prize Money: $1,314

QUEEN KATHERINE (3) had the drop on the lead early on but could only manage third, beaten 6 lengths (29.21) at this track in a OR2 over 480m. Key chance in this line up. BALLYCIAN BOY (5) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (28.87) at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. FABULOUS KIRA (6) was a swift 29.15 winner of a OR2 at this track last start. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. FABULOUS SHOW (1) racing over this distance brings the best out in her.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 480m in a OR2 at this track. Racing well enough to fully test this field.

Going well this campaign in two runs. In the money first up at this track then finished second, beaten 6 lengths, in a OR2 at this track last start over 480m (29.20). In form but this might be too tough.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just a neck into second over 480m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is ready to win.
