Prize Money: -

SMOKIN EMPIRE (8) Faded at the finish when 3rd last time at this venue and going up in distance. Should muster plenty of early toe. Been in the money each attempt this campaign. Worth consideration. CRYSTAL PEARL (3) 4yo by Curlin first starter for trainer Mark E Casse. Fraser Aebly rates highly steering. Betting as a guide. HELLO STRANGER (7) Weakened to finish 7th last start here. Expecting improvement. Winnable race. LOVER BOY MO (5) Ran on when 3rd last run around here. Placed at every start this campaign. Christoff Douglas takes a large claim. Will be competitive.

Jumped at $35.00 and below expectations when 6th last time at this venue but has the ideal draw. Expected to settle towards the tail. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

Started at $12.00 and didn't attack the line when 11th last time at the track but having second race start. Likely to settle back in the field. Prefer in something weaker.

At $16.00 couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last run here. Should come to hand quickly. Watch betting.
