Prize Money: $2,335

STEELY DAWN (7) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only a neck (20.15) behind Wilgunya Prince at this track. Top chance in this line up. OPHIDIAN (2) flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 0.8 lengths third (20.18) over 350m at this track and making it two placings on end. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Expecting another good run. SHE LIES EASY (8) stuck on well last time to finish half a length back in second (17.00) at Casino in a Grade 5 over 300m. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Bold showing expected. EXONERATE (1) is worth including.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 0.8 lengths third (20.18) over 350m at this track. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Ended last campaign with a seventh (20.82) in a GR 5 at this track and returns after a eight months break. Has a win and a minor from two fresh up runs. Others make more appeal.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching four minors in a row. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need everything to go his way.
