The Valley Race 6

460mtrs (A5)

Prize Money: -

GAVINS CAKE (6) Solid effort when winning last run at this track. Won't be far away during the run. Going well this preparation. Top prospects. CHADWELL EMRA (4) Was well beaten when 6th last time around here. Should bounce back. Has a nice turn of foot. Could give a show. ASHWAY GRANITE (2) Appeared lacklustre when 4th last time at this track. Looking past the last run. In a purple patch of form since resuming from a break. Not out of this. METRIC BUSTER (5) Showed a clean pair of heels to win last time at this track in 29.56s and getting better in recent performances. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Include in chances.

Jumped at $8.00 and had difficulty when 4th last time at the track. Looking past the last run. In top racing shape since returning from a break. Can go close.

Weakened to finish 6th last time at the track. Should bounce back. Shows very good closing speed. One for the value hunters.
