Prize Money: $3,000

BERNIE LOU (5) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from five tries. Placed last time (22.88) at Ascot Park in a Class 2, finishing third and beaten 2.75 lengths. Was very well supported last start and expected to be in the finish. DIAMOND NICKI (6) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 3 lengths away in third (17.59). Likely to be in the finish again. MASTER LEO (3) is a fast beginner who has shown good improvement at his last two starts, the latest scoring at Ascot Park over 390m. Backing up quickly after scoring a surprise win on Wednesday last start. One of the main contenders. HOMEBUSH NEPO (2) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 2.75 lengths away in third (17.26). Can hit the frame in this field.

Was out of placings last time (23.11) at Ascot Park in a Class 2/3, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Has ability and should be around the money.
