Tuesday 17Th February 2026

Prize Money: $1,037

JOYCES CARLY (4) quickly away to win over the 491m at this track two runs back then settled forward again when finishing second at this track last start. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Can go on with it. WAIKIKI DARREN (5) recorded a 0.8 lengths win in an A1 last time 29.43 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Has the ability and looks a key chance. DEVONSHIRE LADY (3) was out of placings last time (41.35) at this track in a OR, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths. Unbeaten in two runs from this trap. Suited here and expected to run well. MEADOW GROVE (2) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish here at this distance.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but found one better when clocking 29.50 over 491m at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Pay to follow.

Finished off last campaign with a fifth in a OR over 664m at this track seven months ago. Looks one of the better hopes in the race.

Sound effort to finish second last start over 491m at this track (29.74) in an A1. Boasts good form here at the journey with four wins and three minor placings from nine tries. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Flew the lids with scorching early pace and clocked 29.43 in a 0.8 lengths win over 491m at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with him.
