Prize Money: $9,055

DISTINCTION (3) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by 2.25 lengths at Horsham in a handy 26.97 beating PRISON BREAK. Strong form has emerged from her last run. The hardest to beat again. SHARAPOVA STAR (2) is a talented dog who is a winner of 28 races and filled a minor placing latest when second at this track (30.04). Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Winning chance. WHISPERED (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with seven wins and eight minors from 20 tries. Missed the frame latest (30.25) when fifth over 525m at this track in a Free For All. Can feature with the right run. TRIBECA (6) scored a scorching Free For All win in 29.95 last time. Can measure up again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 525m in 30.16. Followed that up with a minor placing over 525m at this track at Grade 4 a week ago. Looks a solid contender.
