Prize Money: $2,800

HARA'S REX (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and three minors from 12 tries. Missed the frame latest (22.85) when sixth over 380m at this track in a Grade 4. Looks a key chance on best form. HUNTER'S BOY (3) finished in the minors last time but only a few starts back pushed the clock when winning over 380m at this track, taking a Grade 5 in a slick 21.91. Expected to feature on best figures. OPTIONAL (8) will take beating coming off a good 21.95 success at this track over 380m. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. HIT AFTER HIT (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Last start finished 6th on July 21 over 380m at this track behind Assassino beaten 13 lengths (22.85) in a Grade 4. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.50) over 380m at this track. Has a low draw but will need to find best.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.20) in a Grade 4, finishing a 8 length sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from six starts. Looks one of the chances.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 5 lengths in 22.02, beating Harms Best. Last start finished 4th on July 17 over 380m at this track behind Mizuki Heart beaten 6 lengths (22.03) in a Grade 5. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.
