Prize Money: $2,909

OPAWA AVA (5) was safely held last time finishing a 6 length sixth at this track (17.55) but back to the scene of her latest victory. Has a good record here at this journey. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from five starts. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. OPAWA STORY (6) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a close second (17.19) behind Smash Ready at this track. Bold showing expected. OPAWA ELEGANT (3) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Continues to race well, filling the minors at the last three starts, the latest when second (17.09) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Expected to feature. HOMEBUSH POSTIE (4) is always a threat when he races at this track and distance.
