Prize Money: $1,601

DISTANT FLOW (3) is in sizzling form lately, rocketing around this track in 29.09 to score two back then following on with a 28.96 win over 500m at this track. Recent figures good for this and can measure up again. CARRICK FERGIE (2) produced a moderate run last time when fifth at Newcastle over 480m behind Hardwick Mighty (29.21) in a OR1. Placed at his previous run. Form from his last run is proving strong. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. SLIPPY KEITH (4) has a strong record this track and trip with 13 wins and eight placings from 35 starts. Was out of the placings last time (28.07) at this track in a OR, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Can feature in the finish. CATUNDA CIARAN (5) hit the frame latest (29.09) when second at this track in a OR3. Has five wins already from this trap.

In top form with a three run winning streak. Well fancied last start won by 2.75 lengths at this track (28.96) beating Arthur Minute in a OR on April 20. Has an excellent 28.94 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
