Stake: $1,917

BLACKHOUSE KIM (6) has a strong record this track and trip with 16 wins and 12 placings from 44 starts. Below best last time at this track (28.92) in an A1, finishing a 4 length fifth. Has the ability and should feature. BLUEBELL TEDDY (2) finished 5 lengths away in third last start over 480m at this track but in a respectable 28.91. Harder here but expected to feature again. COLLA VANNY (5) broke the clock when winning over 480m at this track last start, taking an A1 in a scintillating 28.51. Top win latest and rates a key player again. ANNADOWN ALICE (3) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 0.8 lengths into second over 480m at this track. Sure to be thereabouts again.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 480m at this track. The recent effort suggests she is a genuine hope.

Followed a minor placing at Sheffield two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 2.5 lengths, last start in a OR at Monmore over 480m (28.74). In good form but this is tougher.

Good effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A1 by 4 len at this track over 480m (28.51). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
