GARRARD'S HORSE & HOUND DASH PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

EARLY CROW EVANS (3) broke through for his maiden success last time out at this track over 295m (16.93). Steps out of maiden class but ran a quick time doing so. Can make it back-to-back wins. ALEX JEWEL (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 3rd at this track over 295m. Bold showing expected. HOPES ARE HIGH (6) found some support last start but struggled into fifth (17.63), beaten 10 lengths. Finished third the start before. Expected to feature in the finish. IMPRESSIVE ELF (5) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when seventh (17.89), beaten 8 lengths. Is usually a quick beginner.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 295m at this track beaten 10 lengths (17.63) behind Boss On Top in a Class 1 H on February 9. Placed two back at this track. Around the mark two starts back. Should be right in the finish.
