Prize Money: $2,800

MAPLE WAVE (1) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when third (21.90) in a Free For All at this track. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. CUBAN EIGHT (8) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2.5 lengths second over 380m this track in 21.92. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and a minor placing from eight starts. Leading player again. TIME PASSAGES (3) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with four wins and a placing from six tries. Comes off a (21.64) win last time, scoring by 5 lengths in a Grade 4 over 380m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. MOVE LIGHTLY (2) is looking to continue her winning ways off a speedy 21.92 success latest. One of the chances.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 7 lengths behind Aston Elisha over 380m. This looks too tough.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 5.5 lengths in 21.99, beating Lenard Clyde. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 4/5 on February 3 over 380m at this track behind Table Topper beaten 10 lengths (22.42). Solid claims this line-up.

Comments

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished second at this track in 21.92 last time but the start prior clocked a fast 21.86 over 380m finishing second at this track. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.
