Race 5

Prize Money: $740

ZENIA (3) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (30.54) in an A2 at this track over 500m. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. FEORA CARA (4) had trap 4 and was game in defeat when only 2 lengths from Butterbridge Lou in third (30.36) at this track. Racing well and deserves a win. BATTLE STONES (2) has been in super consistent form recently with eight minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fourth (30.59) at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Should be thereabouts. DROOPYS INVASION (5) comes off a (29.84) win last time, scoring by a nose in an A3 over 500m at this track. Has two wins already from this trap.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.3 lengths into second over 500m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 2 lengths, last start in an A3 at this track over 500m (30.36). The one they have to overcome.

Good performance after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A3 by nose at this track over 500m (29.84). Excellent record from this draw, including two wins. In the mix.
