Arafura Catering Equipment Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,630

ZARA'S SECRET (8) goes very well here starting seven times for four wins and two minors. Recorded a 1.75 lengths win (22.54) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Looks suited and should go close. COURAGOUS LIL (1) goes very well this course and distance starting eight times for five wins and two minors. Missed the frame latest (22.86) when fifth over 383m at this track in a Grade 5. Looks suited here and can measure up. PERPETUUS (2) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (18.39) at this track. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. One of the better chances. CONTROL BUBBA (6) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts ago but finished fifth last time (18.41) at this track.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Has ability and worth including.

Backs up after winning by 2 lengths at this track (18.20) beating Bingo Girl in a Grade 5 /MDN on September 29 five days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and she needs to find another gear.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 9 lengths in 17.85, beating Ten A Penny. Last start finished 5th on September 29 over 312m at this track behind Bull's Chance beaten 4 lengths (18.41) in a Grade 2/3/4. Boasts a course and distance PB in a lightning 17.85. Must include.
