Race 5

Prize Money: $777

LETTER EILEEN (2) comes here following a placing in solid time (29.90) over 500m at this track. Hot time latest and looms as the one to beat. DROOPYS INVASION (5) drew this same trap last time when a 2.75 lengths winner (30.06) in an A3 over 500m at this track. Expected to feature again. STRAIGHT SHOT (1) was out of the placings latest but three back was an A2 winner in quick time (29.77) at this track in an A2. Can hit the frame this time. BALLYDOYLE BOB (3) has ability and must be included among the main hopes.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 500m at this track. The recent effort suggests she is ready to win.

Solid effort after racing on the speed to score in an A3 by 2.75 len at this track over 500m (30.06). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
