Prize Money: $1,865

HARD YARDS (1) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 324m behind Keaon Banner (18.65) in a Maiden. Was in the money the start prior. Has ability and looks hard to stop. FEROCIOUS WAVE (7) still a maiden after 15 runs but rarely out of the placings. Was fifth (23.20) at Maitland latest and although yet to win tends to go well here. Expected to feature in the finish. NO EYE CONTACT (8) is right in the mix.

Yet to break through after five starts, the most recent result a seventh (18.65) over 324m at this track. Should prove hard to beat.

Form so far only moderate, the latest effort a sixth over 320m at Richmond. Likely to struggle this time.

Lines up from box 5 for the first time after finishing a 18 length eighth at Taree Super Track (18.98) in a Maiden. Looking to others.

Yet to break through in 15 starts, the latest result a fifth (23.20) over 400m at Maitland. Rates highly and is the one to beat.

Last start finished fifth in a Maiden on February 1 over 520m at Richmond behind Midnight Hoyeon, beaten 12 lengths (30.88). Will find this a little easier. Major threat on best form.
