Angle Park Race 5

Mcqueens Tavern Stake Ctb Division1

Prize Money: $1,610

VINTAGE FLAIR (2) could manage only third at this track last time but caught the eye when posting a sharp 19.68 over 342m at this track the start prior. Has the ability and looks hard to top. LIFE'S A JOURNEY (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (31.38) in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record here including five wins. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. AFIRE (7) has been in sparkling form scoring back to back wins, the latest by 0.8 lengths (19.63) over 350m at Murray Bridge Straight. Expected to feature again. ZIPPING FONTANA (8) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching four minors in a row. Has a low draw but will need the right run to feature.
