Mandurah Race 5

Auto Owls Bentley

Prize Money: $4,470

ELITE CRACKER (4) turned in a solid run last start over 400m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (22.76). Better than last start and worth following up. ROCKIN' KINLOCH (1) was out of the placings last time when seventh at this track (23.21) but scored four back at Northam (17.26). The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Bold showing expected. RACCOON RIVER (2) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing seventh (23.21) at this track. Has the inside draw but prefer each-way.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.76) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Looks a leading chance.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished fourth over 400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Can't make much of a case this time.
