Prize Money: $4,273

PORTLAND MARK (8) can keep up the top recent form following a handy 18.58 win two back with a Class 4/5 victory at this track over 318m in 18.47. Expected to push the clock again here. BIG TIME LENA (7) produced a moderate effort last time when sixth at Wanganui over 305m behind That's Contact (18.18) in a Class 5. Placed at her previous run. Should go much better now back to this venue. Has the ability to give this a shake. OPAWA JIMMY (6) jumped from this box and placed in a Class 5 at Cambridge Raceway over 375m last time, finishing 3 lengths from the winner (21.34). Has a strong record off this same draw including six wins. Leading player again. OPAWA TAZ (2) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot in a fast run most recently. Has the ability to jump the boxes quickly.
