Prize Money: $766

COPPICE MELBELLE (1) missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (30.22) but scored five back at this track (17.51). Has ability and can bounce back. DO IT ZARA (5) looks well placed here following an A6 win two back before finishing fifth at her latest appearance in an A6 at this track over 480m (29.86). Better suited here and cannot be underestimated. CROOKS FEARGHAL (3) claimed an A6 win two back before missing the frame at his latest appearance in an A6 at this track over 480m (29.81). Deserves another chance this easier class. ALNWICK QUEEN (2) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - in the mix again.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Heading in the right direction and well placed to be very competitive.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Others hold stronger claims.
