HARDWICKE APOLLO (5) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Fruity Cocktail (28.45) in an A6. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from eight starts. Leading chance again. INNFIELD BELLA (6) continues to race in super honest form, hitting the frame three times on end before scoring an overdue win last time out (28.38) at this track. Looks suited and expected to run well. GRINGOS SOCKS (3) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at this track over 450m (28.59). Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Likely to play a prominent role. WESTFORTH LUNA (2) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 5.5 lengths third (28.59) over 450m at this track last time. Happy to risk this time.

Finished second last start over 450m at this track behind Take A Risk in an A7. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Boxed on well to finish runner-up at the latest run. Leading player.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 450m at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.
