Race 9

Prize Money: $861

ESSJAY ROBIN (3) has a strong record here with four wins and four placings from nine starts. Comes off a (29.31) win last time, scoring by a neck in an A1 over 500m at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. KNOCKARD JOE (6) finished fourth last time at this track but could not have been more impressive before that in his dominant 29.27 win at this track over 500m. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. KATES DREAM (5) held her own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only a neck (29.34) behind ESSJAY ROBIN at this track. Expected to feature again. HAPPY JET (2) boasts a solid strike-rate from this box.

Showed a hot pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing sixth this track in 29.76. Didn't show up last start but give him another chance.

Scored by a neck last time (29.31) in an A1 over 500m at this track. Top record here at trip with three wins and three placings from six starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just a neck into second over 500m at this track. Sure to be most competitive again.
