Pk Mortgages Rate Chaser 2-4 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

SHE'S GROOVING (2) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by a nose at Gosford in a handy 29.93 beating Sweet Street. Expected to measure up again. MAJOR FLIRT (7) chased the lead early from the inside draw but took over turning to score (30.46) at Taree Super Track in a Mix over 525m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Sure to measure up. BARSANDO (1) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by 4 lengths at this track in a handy 23.15 beating Starlight Duke. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Sure to measure up. HOMER MULWEE (8) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.
