Maiden Claiming

Prize Money: $54,432

KEEPING THE FAITH (3) debuted three-and-a-half weeks ago when he finished seventh over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Likely improver and worth following up. PHENOMENAL DREAM (9) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1408m at this track (Dirt) when he was in the firing line all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LIVEHAPPY (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when sixth in a 1207m contest at this track four weeks ago. Has the class to take care of this field. BOTE (8) was beaten 14 lengths into eighth in a 1408m contest at this track last time out. Capable of featuring prominently.
