Prize Money: $2,310

JUST A MONARCH (1) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and two placings from 10 starts. Below best last time at this track (17.77) in a Grade 3/4, finishing a 2 length fourth. Appeals as a leading chance in this. BLACK AVALANCHE (2) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only one length (17.87) behind Raider Donkey at this track. The form from his last run stacks up well. Hard to beat again. FUMBLES (7) broke from the inside draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only half a length (17.68) behind Buy Dirt at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Can measure up. BANG BANG BULLET (3) has strong claims after a top-three finish at this track and distance last time out.

Returns from a four months break and only other fresh up run was on debut, when a 18.19 winner over 324m at this track. Should prove hard to beat.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (17.92) over 324m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate and looks safely held.
