Stake: $18,410

LAURENS HOOPLA (2) finished second last start, beaten 3 metres at this track over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Leading hope in this comparable race.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Hippie Shake at this track over 1609m on June 2 at $5.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Bella's Love at this track over 1609m on June 9 at $4.20. In fine form. Leading contender.
