Prize Money: $924

COOGA LAYLA (6) has impressed of late in handicaps, scoring two back at this track then finishing third at her latest appearance when starting off scratch at this track over 480m (29.10). Will jump off scratch. Talented handicapper who has recorded four wins in eight runs from the staggered start. Talented handicapper who has four wins and four placings from eight runs from the staggered start. Quality performer who is hard to go past. CROSSFIELD EDDIE (4) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at this track over 480m (29.41). Worth another chance. BALLYHIMIKIN MEG (5) was a winner (29.04) at this track two back but out of the placings last time when 6th there. Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Won at her only start from this draw. Can measure up this time. A BIT OF HUNTER (3) followed a minor placing when starting off 10m from the scratch dog in a handicap at this track two runs ago with a disappointing fifth last start, beaten 4 lengths, in an A6 at this track over 480m (29.84). Back to a handicap this time and jumps with a 10m advantage. Worth another chance.

Resumed from a spell in an A3 and finished fifth at this track (29.41). Tackles a handicap for the first time and has a 4m start on the scratch dog. Key chance who will be difficult to stop.

Got back early in the race last start when sixth over 480m at this track. Before that won by a neck at this track (29.04) beating Balrobuck Tom in an A2 on October 22. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.
