Prize Money: $1,197

SAWPIT SIGNATURE (3) jumped from this trap and scored an A3 win at Valley over 460m latest (28.71). Has a consistent record off this same draw, including a win and one minors. Has the ability and looks hard to top. WHITEROCK ACE (5) missed the hat-trick last start when second and beaten a nose (15.86) last time at Monmore. Hard to beat again. WHISKY HUNTER (6) has a strong record this trip with three wins and four placings from eight starts. Placed last time (29.00) at Monmore in an A3, finishing second and beaten 3 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. VELVET FERNANDO (4) was in the money last time at Monmore (29.21) in an A3, finishing a 0.6 lengths third. Has already won two times from this trap.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 480m in an A4 at Monmore. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start comfortably by 5 lengths at Valley (28.71) beating Loot And Shoot in an A3 on July 21. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.
