Sale Race 8

Monacellars (1-5 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,740

DR. GIANNA (5) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 10 lengths behind Erase And Rewind in 29.21 and recording a new PB here. Expected to push the clock again here. LAKEVIEW CHASER (3) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Maximum Sunny (24.99) in a Mix 6/7. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Bold showing expected. LITTLE THIEF (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (25.33) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Worth another chance. LUCA SKYWALKER (1) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (29.28) over 510m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate but is in the mix.
