VALLEY INN TAVERN STAKES HEAT 1

Prize Money: $3,909

EXPLORER BOOTS (5) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, 0.7 lengths from the winner Glasses (30.49) at this track. Winning claims. OLIVE TREE (3) is yet to break through in 37 starts but has run a number of placings. Missed the frame when fifth (17.86) at this track latest but was in the placings the start before. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Cannot be taken lightly. OPAWA POSTMAN (4) has his first outing without a trial but profiles nicely for this. Among the main hopes. TWISTED TRUTH (6) is by Fernando Bale out of Pearls Are Us making debut. Can sneak into the frame at his first appearance.

Dual acceptor. Latest effort finished 5th in a Class 0 H on April 25 over 295m at this track behind Homebush Latte beaten 8 lengths (17.86). Looks a strong winning hope.

Is a four start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when second (30.49) over 525m at this track. Was prominent most of the way and only faded late. Expected to prove tough to beat.
