Btc Constructions Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,460

ZARA'S SECRET (5) recorded her Best Time this course and distance last time when a 17.97 winner of a Grade 4/5 in the quickest time on the card. In winning form and can measure up again. LITTLE RILEY (1) used the rails draw to advantage to get home last time at this track and distance (18.41), scoring by 2 lengths. Can measure up again. PERPETUUS (7) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 1.75 lengths at this track in a handy 18.35. Draws out wide but has a good record over this journey. Has never missed the frame from four starts from this draw, including a win. Sure to be thereabouts. CANYA KEEP COOL (8) impressed last start, winning in good time. Among the hopes.

Missed the frame last start when a 13 length sixth (18.97) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Has ability but this tough and will need some luck to feature.
