Prize Money: $4,091

MITCHAM BELLA (3) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (23.28) in a Class 2 at Ascot Park. Has a good record here including two wins. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. GOTCHA CHESTER (8) was below best at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth at this track, but was among the placings at this track three back. Can hit the frame this time. PUMPKIN SPICE (6) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (23.11) in a Class 2 at Ascot Park. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Likely to be thereabouts. GO FLYER (7) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently. Has reliable box manners.

Was out of placings last time (23.28) at Ascot Park in a Class 2, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Has two wins and two placings from six starts from the draw. Key chance and should go close.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ascot Park (23.11) in a Class 2, finishing a 4 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks well placed and should feature.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won comfortably by 5.5 lengths at this track (17.44) beating Claws In Emperor in a Class 1 on June 1. Can bounce back. Has claims on best and can bounce back.
