HARA'S PEST (2) was in the minors two back (21.74) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Has ability and can bounce back. VILLAIN OF FIRE (4) is better than last start when fifth (22.31) from Box 4 at this track over 380m. Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Key player if finds best. MAD BUNCH (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Tex Gunn (22.10) in a Grade 2/3. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Winning chance. CHEAP REALITY (3) is on a run of two minor placings – hard to fault that form.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a flying 21.79 over 380m finishing third at this track. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Ran a better race when third behind Aston Kinnie at this track last start over 380m (22.06). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.
