Prize Money: $2,655

FLYING TANGO (5) is on a hot streak of form, the latest charging out of the boxes early and scoring at this track (19.31), making it three straight wins. Has good early speed so she should be prominent despite the squeeze draw. Has put together a string of wins and expected to go close again. COOKIE MAN (8) goes very well this trip starting 22 times for 13 wins and five minors. Hit the frame latest (19.46) when second at this track in a NG. Suited here and expected to run well. ROYMAN (6) was unfancied last time out but hit the ground running to lead all the way, scoring by one length (19.45) at this track in a Grade 5 over 340m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Leading chance again. PESSIMISM (1) form at this course and distance reads well.
