Prize Money: $872

BALLYCOOLE MAGGY (3) was never in contention last time after settling off pace at this track, but prior to that won by a head at this track (29.54) beating A Bit Of Noah in an A6 on April 6. Ready to return to form. NEWINN ZULU (4) finished third last time (29.47) at this track after winning at his previous two outings. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Expected to be in this for a long way. A BIT OFA BUMP (2) continued the strong recent form in handicaps when she finished second, beaten 0.8 lengths, last start when starting off 9m from the scratch dog at this track over 480m (29.35). Will break from the 10m mark. Soild top-three chance. ALNWICK MEGAN (5) is always a threat when she races at this journey.

Was having first try in a handicap and breaking from 16m, finishing sixth (29.88) over 480m at this track. Has a 16m start on the scratch draw. Has ability but looking to others.

Impressive lately in handicaps, scoring two back at this track then third when starting off scratch at this track over 480m (29.47). Will jump off 2m. Talented handicapper who has recorded three wins in five runs from the staggered start.
