Prize Money: $2,335

FUNKY SCAR (3) was in winning form two back (18.57) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Comes through a solid form race last start. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. HOUDINI ESCAPE (1) failed to feature last start at Richmond Straight, but prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (18.37) beating HEY BARBIE GIRL in a Grade 5 on July 24. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Key player if finds best. HEY BARBIE GIRL (2) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fifth (19.09) in a Grade 5 at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. ADAMANT ANDY (6) won by a wide margin last start. Right in the mix.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th on July 31 over 320m at this track behind Comanche Rick beaten 10 lengths (19.09) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at this track. Capable of a strong show.
