Prize Money: $2,515

LATE IN ARRIVAL (8) goes very well here starting 10 times for six wins and two minors. Comes off a (22.83) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 4 over 400m at this track. Rates on top and should go close. DASHING MIMCO (5) is worth forgiving for her last effort when fourth (23.49) at this track over 400m. Has a good record here at this journey. Safe beginner but has a tricky box to overcome. Great chance to atone. FASCINATE JOHN (1) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and two minors. Below best last time at this track (23.16) in a Grade 4, finishing a 5 length fifth. Among the main chances. SUDDEN SURPRISE (2) warrants respect following a recent placing in a tight finish.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd over 388m at Gosford beaten a nose (22.42) behind On A Dime in a NG on July 7. Good beginner and will go close off the handy draw.

Eye-catching performance to score by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 4 last start at this track, clocking a fast 22.83 over the 400m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.
