Harden Race 5

Open Hcp

Stake: $7,980

MARYLAND BRIDGE (5) did little and finished 6 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1600m at Narromine last start, a less impressive effort than her ninth at Dubbo the run before. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. MERRY MORE (3) settled well back last start and never threatened when 10 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1400m at Forbes. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out. SAVVY STATEMENT (4) finished eighth two runs back at Bedourie then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1200m at Lockhart. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BITTA BON MAGIC (1) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1100m at Forbes, beaten 5 lengths, after a win at Lockhart at the previous outing. In the mix.
