Stake: $1,487

NOT BAD YOURSELF (4) Set the pace to win last run at the track in 18.23s over 312m and proven runner at this distance. Very competitive this preparation. Can go through the gears. Sure to be thereabouts. QUICK SHADOW (8) Led throughout when winning last run at the track in 18.21s over 312m and suited at this trip historically. Should come to hand quickly. Tracking very well this preparation. No surprise to see a win. BULL'S CHANCE (5) Looked good when 3rd last start at this venue. Shows good closing speed. In good racing form this campaign. One of the major players. SOCKS LA LA (2) Nice run when 3rd last start at this track but coming back in distance. Has run into the money regularly this preparation. Each way bet for sure.

Took charge of the race to win last start at the track in 18.47s over 312m and has the ideal trap. Showing great form since resuming from a spell. Marginal prospect.

Went to the front and never looked back when winning last run at the track in 18.21s over 312m and strong performer at this trip. Displays good early speed. Gets a solid chance here.
