VALLEY INN TAVERN SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,636

EVENING OUT (7) comes off a (16.97) win last time, scoring by one length in a Class 4 over 295m at this track. Rates on top and should go close. OPAWA RYDER (8) boasts a strong record this course with 27 wins and 22 minors from 74 tries. Was out of placings last time (17.50) at this track in a Class 5, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. OPAWA GORDON (2) goes very well this course and distance starting 18 times for seven wins and eight minors. Comes off a (16.68) win last time, scoring by 6 lengths in a Class 4 over 295m at this track. Looks a key chance on best figures. SHANE BAXTER (3) was well fancied last time on the strength of a win two back but could only manage sixth (17.54) at this track. Worth another chance.

Hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior was an impressive winner scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Class 4 at Ascot Park. This tougher and prefer for a place this time.

Missed the frame latest (17.50) when sixth over 295m at this track in a Class 5. Has 11 wins and 11 placings from 34 starts from the draw. Looks a key chance on best form.
