Stake: $989

RATCHIES RASMUS (1) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out. BLACKHOUSEHARPER (4) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (29.99) in an A6 at this track. Great chance to atone. SWIFT ELLIOT (5) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (30.22) in an A6 at this track. Worth another chance. FOOTFIELD DOMINO (3) box seated before sticking on well to finish 2.5 lengths away in second (29.87) at this track in an A6 over 480m. Hard to beat again.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Looking to others this time.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 480m in an A6 at this track. Heading in the right direction and well placed to fill another top-three spot.
