Prize Money: $2,335

IRINKA LINDSAY (7) ran below best last time finishing fourth (23.25) over 400m at this track from Box 8. Has a strong record from box 7, including two wins. Should be very hard to beat this time. SUNSHINE RHONDA (1) charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 4.5 lengths third (23.21) over 400m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. WHAT'S THE STORY (3) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 400m behind Zipper Night (23.45) in a Grade 5. Shapes as one to consider. JILLIBY SCOTTY (2) has been freshened for this and can hit the frame.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when third (23.21) at this track over 400m. Has the ability to take this out.
