Stake: $10,277

LIGHT BRAVE (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a head away in second over 1230m at this track when he was handy all the way.

Going well. Last start came from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track on June 12 over 820m, 4 len behind Kurino Nina carrying 54kg at $4.50. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at this track on May 23 over 1230m, 4.5 len behind Hinata Lady carrying 54kg at $7.50. Hard to beat if she brings her A-game.
