Prize Money: $854

FEORA CARA (3) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 500m (30.25). Will find this easier and looks tough to beat on best. BALLYBOB CURTIS (6) was a strong course and distance winner last time, claiming an A5 in a speedy 29.77 and a new PB here. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. HARLEQUIN LIBBY (2) was in the minors when resuming at this track where she finished third (30.37) in an A4. Goes very well here finding the frame in each of three starts. Has a win and three minor placings from four starts from this draw. Will give a great sight again. KILKENNY KYTELER (4) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in an A5 by 3.5 len at this track over 500m (30.37). Hard to tip with any confidence.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just one length into second over 500m at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to score.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 500m at this track (30.24) in an A4. Boasts good form here at the journey with two wins and two minor placings from five tries. Nicely placed.
