Prize Money: $12,637

NEBRAAS (1) ran a good race when finishing a neck second of 10 in a Listed event over 3200m at this track last start. He took the lead at the 300m mark and fought on well all the way to the line. He has won once and finished second once from three starts over this course and distance. He looks well placed to go one better. SILENT WAR (2) is racing well having placed in three of his last four starts. Jumps from pole position and if seeing out the 2400m, he should be hard to peg back. UNITED COUNCIL (6) has won three times and finished third once from six starts over this course and distance. She runs well for Gavin Lerena and can finish in the placings. TWO MILES WEST (5) has finished third in his last two starts. He has won once, finished second twice and third once from eight starts on this course. If seeing out the 2400m, he should be figuring in the finish.

Racing well. Returns from a 38-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 10 at this track on April 26 over 3200m, neck behind Taxhaven carrying 60kg at $11. The start before that 3rd of 12 at this track on March 29 over 2850m, 4.5 len behind My Soul Mate with 56kg at $17. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
