Stake: $4,750

HARPER SPILLER (8) Only fair when 5th last start here. Giving another go here and will try to take advantage of the draw. Will be positive in the run early. Should go well. HUNTER'S BOY (4) Disappointing run when 6th last time at this venue. Is capable of a resurgence. Respect in this event. WHITNEY GIRL (3) Came in 4th last time at this track. May see an upturn in form. In good shape since resuming from a spell. Well placed and has solid claims. HARA'S REX (7) Finished 5th last run at this track. May see an upturn in form and returning to more ground. Can get the job done.

Started at $19.00 and disappointing display when 5th last start around here but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Should race on the speed. Respect the betting.

At $26.00 below standard effort when 6th last run at this track. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

Odds of $17.00 and ran 4th last time at this venue. May see an upturn in form. Tracking very well this preparation. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

At $6.50 fairly underwhelming when 5th last start at this track. Giving another go here and can find a nice position from the draw. Stamps its reason for consideration.
