Prize Money: $2,335

AUSSIE OSCAR (1) hit the frame latest (17.58) when third at Taree Super Track in a NG. Has already won out of this draw. Looks a leading chance on best. VINTAGE RACER (6) goes very well this course and distance starting 18 times for six wins and three minors. Missed the frame latest (23.43) when sixth over 400m at this track in a Grade 5. Looks one of the chances. HOOKED ON IRAOLA (8) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (23.13) at this track behind Zipping Vivid in a Grade 5. Led around the bend before fighting on well and should give a sight. Solid beginner and with a good start should have clear running out wide. Expected to feature. NO SHARES (7) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 8 length sixth over 400m at this track. Hard to have this time.

Was sixth in a Grade 4/5 two back then given a ten weeks break after failing to finish last time at Gosford. May be worth another chance but happy to watch this time.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at this track. Can't recommend him in this.

Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on March 14 over 400m at this track behind Housie Bob beaten 9 lengths (23.43). Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Could only manage eighth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (22.70) over 400m at Maitland. Has to overcome a wide draw but in the mix on his best form.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 2.5 lengths third over 400m at this track, clocking 23.13. Capable of improvement.
