Prize Money: $2,655

KUNG FU BAY (1) flew the lids off the inside draw with a fast early split and gave a sight, finishing a 1.75 lengths second (20.74) over 365m at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Leading chance again. IMPRESS SPIETH (5) last seen when scorching around the 340m at Bulli in 19.10 for a 2.5 lengths victory. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. BLACK BEAR (2) won again in another strong performance to make it two in a row, scoring at this track over 365m (20.45). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can measure up again. CUMBRIA CHRISSY (6) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was a strong winner scoring by a neck in a Grade 5 at this track and clocking a solid 20.73 over the 365m trip. Has the ability and looks a key chance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 365m in 20.63. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 365m at this track at Grade 5 level. Has an exceptional 20.53 best time at this course and distance. Worth including.

Was out of placings last time (20.93) at this track in a NG, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Makes appeal on best.

Recorded a 2.5 lengths win (19.10) in a Mix 1/2/3 last time at Bulli. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from 10 starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 8 length fifth over 320m at Richmond. Others read better.
