Race 11

Prize Money: $734

PIPS GAMBLE (4) was game in defeat with a narrow loss in last time, when a neck second behind Hazelhill Gem in 29.97 and posting a new PB this course and distance. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. CLAIRKEITH RAYNA (6) had been in great form but missed the frame latest when fifth (30.56) in an A6 at this track. Generally a safe beginner but never in it last time. Solid record here at the distance winning 20 races. Some good form is emerging from her last run. In the mix. DROOPYS CRAFTY (1) ran below best last time finishing fifth (30.42) over 500m at this track in an A6. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Should be thereabouts. SEOMRA BAXTER (3) scored from box 3 last start – cannot be left out.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 500m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 2 lengths in 30.45. Last start finished last on February 6 over 500m at this track behind Feora Joy beaten 6 lengths (30.56) in an A6. Better than that and worth following up.
