Race 7

Prize Money: $720

MERTONABY LAD (5) drew trap 5 last start and was game in defeat when a close third, a long neck from Cofas Mal (30.27) at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from six starts. Top chance in this line up. FASTLANE BEAR (6) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a 6 length third (30.30) in an A7. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. IM JUSTA RARITY (2) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A6 at this track over 500m (30.48). Deserves another chance this class. JAZS DOVE (3) followed an A6 win two back with a sound third, beaten 3 lengths, in an A6 at this track over 500m (30.22). This easier so don't rule her out.

Comments

Could only manage fifth last time out over 500m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Others have better credentials.

Turned in a much better performance last start when third over 500m at this track in an A6. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. This appears within his reach.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at his last four starts, the latest when third (30.27) over 500m at this track. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.
