Stake: -

ALA TURKA (2) Made considerable ground when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last run at this venue and has a good draw. Possesses good closing speed. Up against a more competitive field. Rates well in this race. GETTING AHEAD (1) On a short turnaround. Started off strong but faded towards the end when 3rd beaten by 1/2L last time around here and competing at a lower level of competition. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. NICOLE'S SONG (6) Lost ground in the run home when 4th last time at this track. Giving another go here but challenged by a tougher grade. No shock to see a win. RIFLING (3) Racing on a quick back up. Average effort when 5th last run at the track but will find this grade easier. Shows good finishing speed. Has the ability to take this out.

On a quick turnaround. Although being out sprinted still grabbed 3rd beaten by 1/2L last time at this track and taking on a lower class of opponents. Drawn beautifully. Should give this a shake.

Ran on when 2nd last run at this venue and drawn nicely. Always seems to find the line well. Up against tougher rivals. Should go close.

On a short back up. Started at $14.00 and struggled when 5th last run here but stepping down to a lower level. Can go through the gears. Has a good chance.

Jumped at $42.00 and folded up in the straight when 7th last run at the track and racing in stronger company. Will be positive in the run early. Hard to warm to.
