450Mtrs (B7)

Prize Money: $483

GROUCHOS LINKS (1) looks long overdue for a win having finished in the minors at her last three runs, the latest when third (29.07) in a B6 at this track. Should enjoy this company and gets chance to find winning form. ROYAL FLUSH (6) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in a B6 at this track over 450m (29.00). Heading in right direction and well placed here. Leading player. ELLIES FLASH (4) is down a grade after finishing fifth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in a B6 at this track over 450m (29.41). Worth another chance this line-up. RYDER RIPPLE (2) looks well placed here following a B6 win two back before finishing fifth at her latest appearance in a B6 at this track over 450m (29.37). No surprise to see her back in winning form.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 450m. Won't find this any tougher. Hard to beat with even luck.

Last start finished last in a B6 on February 23 over 450m at this track behind Cool As Funk beaten 8 lengths (29.37). Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on her best form.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Others have better credentials.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 450m at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.
