COOGA QUEENIE (6) drew trap 5 last start and was game in defeat when a close third, 1.3 lengths from Ashway Dusty (29.58) at this track. Sure to be about the mark. SALACRES MERKEL (2) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 1.75 lengths back in third (29.34) at this track in an A5 over 476m. Racing well and deserves a win. SCALA BREW (4) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Deerland Flyer (29.39) in an A5. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Expecting another good run. SHANGHAI WILLIE (1) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (29.56) in an A5 at this track last time out.
