The Godfather To Father Chase

Prize Money: $816

ALNWICK BEACH (3) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 1.3 lengths last start at this track over 480m (28.96). Goes up a notch but will give backers a sight. FINE BY ME (1) is in top form with back to back wins. Claimed an A5 two back then scored by 4 lengths in an A4 last time at this track over 480m (29.03). Facing tougher grade but in form and not to be underestimated. SEAHAM PARK LIFE (5) recorded a win over the 480m at this track in a sharp 29.15 last start. Bold showing expected again. HEY DUKE (6) boasts a consistent overall record including 11 wins from 44 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when third (29.26) over 480m at this track. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 6 lengths, last start in an A3 at this track over 480m (29.25). Racing well and is the one they have to overcome.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is ready to win.
