Prize Money: $1,530

PAW XHANI (2) was out of the placings latest but three back was a Bottom Up - Maiden winner in quick time (25.73) at this track in a Bottom Up - Maiden. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. LEKTRA KNIGHT (1) was below best last time when seventh but three back was a Bottom Up - Maiden winner in quick time at this track. Can find the frame this time. PAW DIPPY (7) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (25.96) at this track. The form from her last run stacks up well. Can figure in the finish. PADDY'S WAY (5) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.
