Prize Money: $767

STONE COLD PUNK (4) jumped from the same trap last time when a 1.5 lengths second (29.98) at this track over 500m. Rates on top in this line up. NEVER LET GO (1) goes very well this course and distance starting eight times for three wins and four minors. Comes off a (30.20) win last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths in an A8 over 500m at this track. Among the main chances. LUPI LOPEZ (5) finds it hard to break through. Finished in the money last time though when third (30.34) at this track. Leading chance. PUNK ROCK THIEF (2) placed last time and is worth some thought.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 500m in an A7 at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 1.5 lengths second (29.98) over 500m at this track last time. Should prove hard to beat.
