Prize Money: $3,340

LITTLE BONT (8) doesn't win out of turn. Finished in the money last time though when third (30.67) at this track. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Makes plenty of appeal. CRACKERJACK TREV (7) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (25.20) last time in a Grade 5 at Sale. Cannot be taken lightly. RITA PAIGE (2) was in the money last time at this track (30.59) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.5 lengths second. Has two wins already from this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. IVORY MIHARA (6) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.
