Ladbrokes Mates Mode Pots Masters

Prize Money: $2,310

STOCK'S GIFT (4) finds it hard to break through. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing second (23.17) at this track. Key chance in this line up. PEPPA NANDO (2) was a winner two back when racing on speed but drifted back latest and safely held when 8th and beaten 15 lengths at Maitland (23.39). Better than last start and can bounce back. KINGSLEY (5) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (22.81) in a Grade 4/5 at Maitland latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expected to do much better this time. CHLOE'S COMET (7) cannot be left out after placing here at this trip last start.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (23.17) at this track over 400m. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Facing tougher opposition than he has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Not going well enough to figure in this.
