Monmore Race 5 - Peter Billingham Memorial Trophy - Final

NOT SO STEADY (3) is a consistent runner who is having his first look at course. Strong winner last time by 6 lengths at Monmore in OR3 in one of the quickest times on the program (28.34). Form reads well for this. TURNTHEMAGICON (4) produced a flying 28.48 winning over 480m at Monmore last start. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. DROOPYS SCRATCH (6) scorched around Monmore over 480m in 28.57 for a 1.5 lengths win. Top win latest and can measure up again. IVY HILL VIPER (5) is a last-start placegetter who is in the mix again.

Solid debut over 480m at Monmore when settled midfield but wound up nicely to finish second (28.81) and beaten 6 lengths. Others rate stronger and place prospects appear best.
