Prize Money: $3,135

LATCH ON (7) has a strong record this track and trip with nine wins and seven placings from 24 starts. Below best last time at this track (23.40) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Expected to be in the finish. PHOENIX VIOLET (1) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a neck win at this track in a handy 23.12. Draws the cherry and has the ability and in winning form. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Likely to be in the finish. MERRY MERRIWA (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and five minors from 10 tries. In the money last time at Dubbo (23.05) in a Grade 5, finishing a nose second. Can hit the frame with the right run. ELITE DOM (5) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a neck over 400m at this track in a handy 23.12, beating Boracay Beauty. Well suited by the draw. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 525m at this track. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.5 lengths in 23.14, beating Stew Bob. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 4/5 on February 13 over 525m at this track behind Slick Rambo beaten 5 lengths (30.93). Has ability and worth including.
