Race 8

Prize Money: $805

SOLDIER SAM (1) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 0.8 lengths (30.29) behind Tumbledown at this track. Deserves a win and gets his chance. DIAMOND SANTA (4) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when third (29.98) at this track in a HCP. Expected to do much better this time. ANTEPOST BET (2) has impressed of late in handicaps, scoring two back at this track then finishing third at her latest appearance breaking from 1m at this track over 500m (30.02). Will break from the 6m mark. Smart handicapper who has recorded one wins in two runs from the staggered start. Genuine handicapper who has one win and one placings from two runs from the staggered start. Hard to leave out in this form. CLONKIL SMOKEY (5) racing well. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 500m (29.96). Back to handicaps and breaks from the back. Genuine handicapper who has two wins and three placings from eight runs from the staggered start. Capable of a lot better.

Racing consistently, placing two back at this track then tackling a handicap when jumped from scratch and grabbing third at this track over 500m (29.98). Has a 1m start on the scratch dog. Consistent performer who is hard to go past.
