TAKEOVER TARGET (4) has a strong record this track and trip with eight wins and five placings from 19 starts. Comes off a (28.48) win last time, scoring by half a length in a OPEN over 498m at this track. Looks a leading chance on best. AMBER ANNIE (6) was a last-start winner from the inside at this track over 380m (21.86) after missing the jump, scoring by half a length. Expecting another good run. VALEENA BOY (1) filled the minor money two on end before breaking through for a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 380m (21.76). Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from six starts. Can make it back-to-back wins.
