Ladbrokes Blackbook Dash Division1

Prize Money: $1,340

NOT BAD YOURSELF (4) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 18.23 beating Roma Blue. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and three minor placings from 12 starts. Expected to go well again. BULL'S CHANCE (5) is a well performed dog and winner of 16 races who was in the minor money last time out at this track (18.29). Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Bold showing expected. QUICK SHADOW (8) posted a swift 18.21 winning over 312m at this track last start in a OPEN. Bold showing expected again. SOCKS LA LA (2) is building a nice sequence of placings and will be in the mix again.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 2.5 lengths third but did clock a decent 18.29 over the 312m journey. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd on March 5 over 312m at this track behind Not Bad Yourself beaten 4 lengths (18.49) in a OPEN. Not among the main chances this time.

Well supported last time and ran up to expectations, burning early to score a one length win at this track over 312m in 18.21. In form and is right in the mix again.
