Prize Money: $2,335

CHOPPER SURE CAN (1) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when third (20.56) in a Grade 5 at this track. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. BARCIA CRUISER (8) jumped from this box last time and also the same course and distance to score a Grade 5 win (20.32). This tougher but looks a leading chance again. ROBELL POLLY (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (17.41) last time in a Grade 5 at Casino. Leading chance. SPLIT MINDS (4) warrants respect following a recent placing at a short quote.
