Prize Money: $2,400

KING AND I (3) turned in a good run last time, finishing in the placings (21.98) at this track in a OPEN. Lines up from box 3 for the first time. Capable of going well again. RECKLESS RUBY (1) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten a nose, (22.14) at this track. Expected to be in the finish again. CHEAP REALITY (7) struggled for best form latest, finishing 6th (22.70) in a Grade 5 at this track. Goes very well at course and distance boasting three wins. The form from her last run stacks up well. Deserves plenty of respect. OPAL EMGRAND (2) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 380m at this track clocking 22.14. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Most recent effort finished last on May 8 over 380m at this track behind Smooth Blast beaten 19 lengths (23.23) in a Grade 5. Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (21.98) at this track in a OPEN. Has first look at box 3 this time. Appeals as a leading chance in this.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 498m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
