#Lovethedogs Stakes

Prize Money: $781

ALNWICK AVA (4) hit the ground running from trap four and was prominent throughout but faded out of it when 6th at this track in an A4. Has a good record here at this journey. Ready to return to form. BRAMBLE HARVEY (2) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Midtown Ebony (29.41) in an A4. Has the pace to be prominent. Hard to beat again. WESTONS SKELETON (1) was a last start winner from the inside trap at this track and distance (29.39), scoring by 1.75 lengths. Expecting another good run. WHITEHILLS VITO (3) is down a grade after finishing sixth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 480m (29.83). Watch for a better run this easier company.

Good effort to score last start by 1.75 lengths over 480m at this track in 29.39, beating Five Alley Luna. In winning form now and looks a major threat.

Finished third last start over 480m at this track behind Midtown Ebony in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Looks a strong winning hope.
