Prize Money: $793

ALNWICK HARRY (2) followed an A1 win two back with a fourth, beaten 3 lengths, in an A1 at this track over 480m (29.02) last time. Suited this easier class and can atone. FRANKIES WINNER (6) jumped from this trap and went down narrowly when a nose second (29.70) in an A2 at this track over 480m latest. Bold showing expected again. ALNWICK NIDGE (4) is a promising dog in the frame at 24 of 54 starts including 14 wins and was in the minors again latest (29.39) over 480m at this track. Has a good overall strike-rate and can find the frame here. SIMPSON SNIPER (1) comes into calculations after placing in a quick run most recently.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Sunderland then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in a IV at this track over 290m (17.28). Not to be underestimated.

Latest effort finished 4th on February 20 over 480m at this track behind Blackhouse Lewi beaten 3 lengths (29.02) in an A1. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Finished third last start over 480m at this track behind Fardoe Sleek in an A2. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. More than capable and ready to find best form.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just a nose into second over 480m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is ready to win.
