Opawa Peak (1) Has early speed to be one of the leaders and has won on the track. Good chance
Prince Teka (11) Fence draw not ideal but he is dangerous if he finds the front. Top three chance

Sweet Betty (5) Good effort last start and nice draw. Can sneak into the top three with luck here
Racingmissgracie (4) Ok last start and a good winning chance with a good run in transit Needed

Race 4

Penny Weight (3) Solid third last start and a winning chance from the draw. In the mix. Needed
