Prize Money: $795

ALNWICK AVA (3) shapes well after a useful run last time, finishing second in an A3 at this track in 29.12. Has the ability and expected to go close again. WRAYSBURY SILVER (4) was out of the placings last time when sixth at this track (29.63) but did record best time of the card when winning four back. Key runner on best form. TROOPER MCEVOY (1) was unfavoured last start but gave a huge sight when led for much of the way to place (29.28) at this track in an A3 over 480m. Leading player again. A BIT OF OSCAR (6) cannot be ruled out.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 480m in an A3 at this track. Cannot be ignored based on that sound recent effort.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Likely to struggle this time.

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A3 by nose at this track over 480m (29.11). Key chance again.
