Prize Money: $804

RIOJA MINSTREL (6) stuck on well last time to finish a head back in third (29.79) at this track in an A4 over 500m. One of the leading chances. AMAZING FORCE (1) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in an A5 at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. FERRYFORTH ZARA (3) scored two back in quick then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 11 length 4th at this track (30.79). Great chance to atone. BATTLE STONES (2) was an A3 winner two back before missing the frame at his latest appearance when fifth in an A3 at this track over 500m (30.02). Deserves another chance this easier class.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just a head into third over 500m at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.
