Prize Money: $2,727

THRILLING NASH (6) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 2.5 lengths at this track in a handy 21.37 beating Big Time Central. One of the key runners again. FLYING MOA (4) was safely held in tougher company last start after settling well back at this track, but prior to that won by 1.3 lengths at this track (21.61) beating Omaticaya in a Class 1 on May 22. Better than last start and can bounce back. SOBER DRIVER (5) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Manukau over 318m behind Hunter Honey (19.68) in a Class 1 H. Was a winner the start prior. Should be in this for a long way. OPAWA RAISIN (2) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Latest effort finished 6th on May 29 over 375m at this track behind Cartoon beaten 5 lengths (21.90) in a Class 1/2. Should prove hard to beat.

Won at this track over 375m two starts back but then was a little disappointing last start, fading at the end of 318m at Manukau. Well placed and among the chances here.

Was out of placings last time (21.86) at this track in a Class 1/2, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Has two successes and 11 minors from 26 starts from box 7. Looks a place chance at best.
