Prize Money: $3,800

SLIM NIKITA (1) has a strong record here with three wins and two placings from seven starts. Comes off a (29.13) win last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths in a Restricted WIN over 498m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. RUPEE MAGIC (2) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (22.14) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Should be about the mark. LENARD CLYDE (5) was a last start winner (21.98) at this track in a Grade 5 and will jump from box 5 for the first time. Will go close again if runs up to latest. THREE HEARTS (6) is worth including.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. Last start finished fourth over 498m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Prefer to watch at this stage.
