Prize Money: $3,800

SMOOTH BLAST (2) comes off a big run when second in a slick 21.83 at this track over 380m. In form and rates on top this time. EUGENE (1) has missed the placings at his last couple but was in the money three back when third (29.01) at this track in a Grade 5/6. Safe beginner and drawn well on the inside. Expected to do much better this time. SHE'S SPIRITED (4) hit the frame latest (28.91) when third at this track in a P5. Already a winner from this draw. Can feature with the right run. ASHY BEAR (3) has top-three aspirations after placing here over this journey last time.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 6th over 498m at this track beaten 11 lengths (29.59) behind Organised Kaos in a P5 on March 24. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 3.5 lengths second but did record an excellent 21.83 for the 380m trip. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Missed the frame latest (29.31) when fifth over 498m at this track in a Grade 5/6. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
