Prize Money: $667

MERTONABY OPAL (2) got the job done again after running them ragged making it three on end. Expected to measure up despite the tougher class. COURTY ASH (6) dropped out early but hit the line hard, charging into third and beaten 4 lengths win (30.30) at this track in A7. Must be included in calculations. CHISEM TOBY (1) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same trap when second in an A7 at this track (30.69) and making it three straight placings. Must include in calculations. POMBA ALAN (4) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Winner on debut at this track when scoring by 3 lengths in 30.43. Last start finished 4th in an A7 on November 4 over 500m at this track behind Third Generation beaten 5.5 lengths (30.34). May well be worth another chance.
