Hastings Park Race 5

Claiming

Stake: $20,250

FINDING WAYS (1) returns from a break of seven months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1308m at this track. Has a strong fresh record including two wins. Looks sure to be in the finish. BAK TO LIBERTY (4) returns after a spell of seven months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at this track. Has switched to the Steve Henson yard. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. OSTRACIZE (3) is back after a break of six-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1308m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims. THERE GOES MY HERO (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 13/10/2024, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths over 1710m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal.
