Prize Money: $2,655

STEPHEN WITHERAP (5) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 4.5 lengths (17.91) at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. MAURA FIGGIS (2) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 1.75 lengths (22.42) at The Gardens. Looks suited and is one of the contenders. TULSI BANNER (7) is worth forgiving for her last effort when fifth (19.53) at Bulli over 340m. Has a good record at this journey. Comes out of a solid form race last start. One of the better chances. FEDERAL NOTICE (4) was unplaced here last start but gets her chance to atone.

Missed the frame latest (19.66) when fifth over 340m at Bulli in a Grade 3/4. Has two wins and four placings from seven starts from the draw. Will need the right run.

Comments

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at her last couple, most recently over 400m at The Gardens in a handy 22.42 beating Zipping Deloris. Form from this draw is very strong, including three wins. Hard to beat.

Strong performance to win by 4.5 lengths at this track over 320m (17.91) beating Pearl Of Maui in NG on January 25. Has run hot time here with a 17.91 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Did a good job two starts back at Bulli to win by one length in 19.09, beating Shrewd Ethics. Last start finished 5th on November 18 over 340m at Bulli behind Calypso Ethics beaten 5 lengths (19.53) in a NG. Has ability and worth including.

Backs up after winning by 1.3 lengths at this track (18.28) beating Sandi Kingdom in a Grade 5 on January 25 five days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and she needs to find another gear.
