Prize Money: $757

MERTONABY LAD (6) missed the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 500m at this track in 29.74. Can return to winning form here if runs up to time two back. RORY THE ARB (3) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing sixth (30.10) at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from nine starts. Worth following up. TOMMYS GOODTIME (1) chased the lead early from the inside and boxed on well to finish second, beaten one length (29.96) at this track in an A3 over 500m. Expected to feature again. POCKET GUNNER (2) is down a grade after finishing fourth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at his latest appearance in an A2 at this track over 500m (30.01). Worth another chance this line-up.

Last start finished last on September 2 over 500m at this track behind Droopys Crafty beaten 2.5 lengths (30.10) in an A2. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Moderate effort last start when she finished 4th in a OR on August 28 over 575m at Romford behind Bushpark Cathal beaten 5.5 lengths (35.62). Hard to tip with any confidence.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths (30.45) in an A3 over 500m at this track. Well placed and a great chance to atone.
