525 Yds (A5)

Prize Money: $543

BALLYGUR RUBY (6) jumped favourite and was too quick with an all-the-way win last start (29.53) at this track in an A5 over 480m. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Hard to go past. SLANEYSIDE YEATS (2) won again in another strong performance after leading them home to make it back to back wins at this track over 480m (29.59). Can continue on with his winning form. WHITEYS WAR HERO (4) was a last start winner (29.90) from Box 2 at this track. Boasts three wins from six starts out of this box. Significant danger. ALMIGHTY LAURA (1) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in an A5 at this track over 480m.
