APACHE BLYDE (6) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Continues to race well, filling the minors at the last five starts, the latest when second (18.61) at this track. The form from her last run stacks up well. Key chance in this line up. HUNTER KAREN (7) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at this track over 318m behind Opawa Vanessa (19.23) in a Class 4. Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Key runner who gets her chance to atone.

Placed last time (21.50) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 4, finishing second and beaten 0.9 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting five victories and six places from 19 starts. Should be around the mark.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a neck in 18.93, beating You Pick One. Last start finished 5th on July 20 over 318m at this track behind Opawa Vanessa beaten 5 lengths (19.05) in a Class 4. Well placed and among the chances here.

Latest effort finished 2nd over 318m at this track beaten 0.7 lengths (18.61) behind Hanzo River in a Class 4 on July 27. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Racing well and deserves a win.
