Prize Money: $873

BORNA PARACHUTE (5) makes his debut in a handicap and will start off 3m. Returned with a moderate fourth, beaten 5 lengths, (29.84) at this track over 480m. Rates well this line-up. Can play a big role. CROIA AGUS GWEN (6) hit the frame latest (29.53) when second at this track in a HCP. Has already won out of this trap. Looks well placed here and among the chances. STRICTLY VITO (3) was a last start winner (29.95) at this track who is building a strong winning record. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. BRICKKILN BUGSY (2) hit the frame here last start so don't underestimate.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Comments

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing second behind Strictly Vito in an A9. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. In the money last time and looks well placed. Can go one better.
