Prize Money: $4,200

ASSASSINO (4) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from five starts. Recorded a 1.75 lengths win (21.85) in a Grade 4/5 last time at this track. Looks well placed and should feature. TOMMY'S WHISKY (1) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from five tries. Missed the frame latest (28.96) when fourth over 498m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Looks well placed here and among the chances. TAKEOVER TARGET (5) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when second beaten a neck (28.64). Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Can feature again. BUG ME MORE (2) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 4th over 498m at this track beaten 5 lengths (28.96) behind Daniel Sparkles in a Grade 4/5 on June 9. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 498m at this track in a handy (29.03), beating Federal Cash. Can go well again with the right run.

Eye-catching performance to score by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, clocking a fast 21.85 over the 380m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Narrowly beaten last time at this track when only a neck from the winner but did record an excellent 28.64 for the 498m trip. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.
