Prize Money: $710

SALACRES PRODIGY (3) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last seven runs. Last start finished 2nd in an A5 on July 15 over 500m at this track behind Westwind Ron beaten a head (29.51). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Key chance in this line up. BALLYCLEARY BONO (6) hit the frame with a narrow second two runs back then claimed an A6 by 0.8 lengths at this track over 500m (30.12) last time. Levels up a grade but rates well this line-up on latest. Follow up. SALACRES MERKEL (1) turned in a moderate run last time when fifth at this track over 500m behind Salacres Wild (30.12) in an A4. Was a winner the start prior. Must be included in calculations. DROHOBYCH FALCON (5) can sneak into the finish again.

Good performance after tracking the speed to score on debut in an A6 by 3 len at this track over 500m (29.64). Others read better.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 500m. Won't find this any tougher. Hard to beat with even luck.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at his last five starts, the latest when third (27.54) over 460m at this track. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in an A6 by 0.8 len at this track over 500m (30.12). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
