Prize Money: $538

RAINS BRIDIE (4) took the sit on the lead but levelled up to score (29.61) at this track in A6 over 480m. Well placed and will be tough to beat. FRIDAYS VAN GAAL (6) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage fourth (29.87) at this track. Has ability and can atone. SWANSON TROUBLE (5) found some support last start but struggled into fourth (29.70), beaten 1.4 lengths. Finished third the start before. Leading chance. CHANCER JIM (2) solid chance again.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just half a length into second over 480m at this track. Cannot be overlooked based on that sound recent effort.

Resumed last time out with a solid second over 480m at this track in an A6 (29.66). Much improved for this but looks up against it in this line-up.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in an A6 on July 5 over 480m at this track behind Rains Bridie beaten 1.4 lengths (29.70). Look for improvement. Not out of it.
