TAKEOVER TARGET (1) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 498m behind HARA'S HARPER (29.61) in a Restricted WIN. Scored at his previous run. Got the money at his only try from this box. Has ability and can bounce back. AMBER ANNIE (7) finds it hard to win. Finished third (29.30) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can measure up. BARNSLEY (8) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a third place finish (28.98) there the start prior. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Bold showing expected. HARA'S HARPER (3) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (28.98) over 498m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw but is in the mix.
