Gapnsw.com.au

Prize Money: $1,575

MELLCAT BAD BOY (4) has been in the money at the last couple here when racing on speed, last outing finishing second beaten 2.5 lengths (19.99). Solid beginner who can clear the tricky draw. Deserves a win and gets his chance. TRAPPER TEARS (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (23.82) last time in a Grade 5 at Richmond. Likely to play a prominent role. GINNY RIGGS (8) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at this track over 350m behind Nitro Venom (20.35) in a Grade 5. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. PAW VERA (7) can fill a top-three spot.

Comments

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished 4th in a Grade 5 on July 17 over 401m at Richmond behind Rusty Cortez beaten 10 lengths (23.82). Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 365m at Nowra. Prepared to overlook.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 3 lengths at Richmond (22.92) beating Mabel's Way in a Grade 5 on June 7. Risky starter, leading chance on best form.
