Prize Money: $806

MELBURY CURLY (4) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.5 lengths (29.83) behind Tiermana Dill at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Top prospect. JOIN IN (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Studley Dudley (30.11) in an A3. Has the pace to be prominent. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Must be included in calculations. FEORA JOY (3) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Yougo Charlie (30.19) in an A3. Has the pace to be prominent. Expected to feature. BLUEISTHECOLOR (2) placed from this box last start - cannot be ignored.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 500m in an A3 at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 500m at this track. Sure to be in the mix again.
