Prize Money: $6,260

BETTERTHAN POPSY (6) finished fifth last start, beaten 8 metres at Albion Park over 2138m. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. PRINCE OF PAIN NZ (5) finished sixth at Albion Park two runs ago before finishing eighth at his latest appearance over 1660m there, beaten 21 metres. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. BLACKJACK BART (2) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 2138m at Albion Park last time out. Top-three commodity from the low draw. HOLD ONTO YA BLING (3) is better than his last-start seventh over 1660m at Albion Park. Worth another chance in this easier assignment.
