Stake: $1,042

FREEDOM SEEKER (1) ran good time (29.26) winning an A4 at this track when jumping from this same trap. Key chance again here. ALNWICK RIVER (6) filled the minor money two on end before breaking through for a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 480m (29.34). Expected to measure up again. DROOPYS RENEE (4) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.5 lengths (29.30) behind Morning Fifi at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to her name from six starts. Overdue and expected to feature again.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 480m in an A4 at this track. The recent effort suggests she is a genuine hope.

In sparkling form at the moment, having scored two on the run. Too strong again latest with a 29.23 success over 480m at this track. Facing a stiffer test here and prefer the place.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. Won't find this much tougher. Definite contender.
