Btc Constructions Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,475

FLIP YOUR FIFTY (2) hit the frame latest (18.33) when third at this track in a Grade 3/4. Has already won 11 times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close. WILLOW'S WITCH (1) delivered an impressive 17.97 to claim a Grade 4/5 over 312m at this track last start. Should be in this for a long way. HONEST JAN (8) was a narrow winner last time, jumping from this same box to score by a neck in a Grade 4 over 312m at this track. Expected to feature again. CONTROL BUBBA (6) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Has placed the last couple. Ran 18.33 when third at this track latest but the run prior he clocked a brilliant 17.97 over 312m finishing second at this track. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (31.84) in a OPEN, finishing a 4 length fourth. Yet to win but has placed six times from this draw. Will need the right run.

Solid performance to win by a neck at this track over 312m (18.33) beating Selena's Chance in Grade 4 on August 2. Among the chances and worth following up.
