LOUIS HOPE (3) was a course and distance placegetter (28.16) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 4 length third in an A5. Looks the one to beat on best. AUTUMN MEADOW (4) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 5th (28.08) at this track. Should be thereabouts. RUSTYS COUNCEL (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (28.56) last time in an A5 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning three races. One of the main contenders. RAVENS GIRL (5) is always a threat when she draws this box.
