Stake: $37,855

ILIKETHAT (7) has won five from seven and is unbeaten in three runs this preparation, including a victory over the same trip last start. In top form and expected to go close again. NAMBITI (3) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 1106m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. GOTTOMAKEITHAPPEN (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SOCIAL HISTORY (6) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 1106m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Nicely placed to make it two on the bounce.
