Stake: $863

PRIVATE EXPRESS (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (39.80) at this track behind Days Lashing in a S3. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Deserves serious consideration. A BIT OF PAIGE (5) hit the frame with a narrow second two runs back then claimed an A5 by 1.5 lengths at this track over 480m (29.27) last time. Hard to knock winning form and expected to measure up despite the tougher grade. BETSYS OREO (6) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (29.83) in an A4 at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to her credit. Should be in this for a long way. SOLWAY TULIP (3) scored in dominant fashion last time. Hard to beat again.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 640m in a S3 at this track. Racing well enough to fully test this line-up.

Followed a modest fifth first up at this track two starts ago with a solid third last time, beaten 0.6 lengths in a HCP at this track over 480m (29.44). Facing a difficult assignment.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in an A5 by 1.5 len at this track over 480m (29.27). Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 6 lengths (29.83) behind Drumcrow Wanda in an A4 on July 22. Looks a solid hope.
