Stake: -

AVA'S UNCLE BILLY (5) Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd last start at the track but coming back in trip. Been in the money each attempt this preparation. Go close. MR. SUGAR DADDY (2) Romped home to win last time here and can find a nice position from the draw. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 2 attempts. Will go well. MY COOL HAND LUKE (3) First up and attacked the line when 3rd first up last preparation at the track. Has good closing speed. Matched against less formidable competition. At least a place chance. HENRY'S HOPE (4) Didn't attack the line when 4th last time here. Looking for an improved run but competing in a higher grade. Should muster plenty of early speed. Solid place bet prospects.

Started $7.50 and faded away to finish 4th last time at the track. Looking for an improved run but testing ability against stronger contenders. Should jump out and bowl along. Win won't shock.
