Prize Money: $1,756

LOXLEYS REX (5) filled the minor placings when returning from a break in a OR in 28.57 and beaten 1.3 lengths over 480m. Should enjoy this much easier company and gets chance to find form. BALLYMAC AKI (1) comes here off a placing in fast time (27.63) over 450m at this track. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. FRANKIES WINNER (6) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (28.84) last time in an A2 at this track. The form out of last race has been strong. Key player if finds best. SUNNYSIDE NELLIE (4) missed the frame fresh, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths, in a OR at Newcastle over 480m (29.42). Can bounce back this much easier company.
