525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $538

FRIDAYS ARMINTA (5) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at this track over 480m behind Detroit Ace (31.10) in an A5. Has winning claims on her best figures. RAINS BRIDIE (3) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage half a length away in second (29.81). Expected to feature again. SWANSON TROUBLE (6) carved over from wide out last start and boxed on strongly to finish 1.75 lengths away in third (29.76) behind Moyola Sasta at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to her name from seven starts. Expecting another good run.

Last start finished last in an A6 on June 28 over 480m at this track behind Ballyhoe Cruiser beaten 8 lengths (30.53). Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into third over 480m at this track. The recent effort suggests she is a genuine hope.
