Prize Money: $3,360

STROP (7) finished second last start over 425m at this track but was game in defeat in a speedy 23.80. In the money latest and can measure up here. BASEMENT (3) got around 425m in a fast 24.06 when winning a Special conditions H at this track last start. Bold showing expected again. PAW JESSABELLE (2) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 24.11 beating She's Nowhere. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. LEONESSA (1) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 1.3 lengths over 425m at this track (24.19). Can make it two on the bounce.

Backs up after winning by half a length at this track (24.31) beating Sandy Cheek in a Special conditions H on March 31 five days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.
