Prize Money: $4,545

PORTLAND MARK (7) boasts a strong record this journey here with 20 wins and 20 minors from 56 tries. Hit the frame latest (18.69) when second at this track in a Class 5. Looks well placed and should feature. OPAWA JIMMY (6) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (21.47) at Cambridge Raceway. Has a good record at this journey. Boasts a strong record from this draw with six wins and five minor placings from 14 starts. Expected to be in this for a long way. BIG TIME LENA (8) goes very well this course and distance starting 42 times for 15 wins and 13 minors. Below best last time at this track (19.07) in a Class 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. HANZO RIVER (3) scored by a neck last time (18.67) in a Class 5 over 318m at this track. Has five wins already from this draw. Recent racing to good to leave out.
