Stake: $2,880

HARA'S NERO (3) Performed below standard when 7th last time around here. Giving another go here. Will be positive in the run early. One of the better chances. GO GEM GO (1) Ordinary performance when 6th last start around here but drawn beautifully. Has plenty of early speed. Has run into the money on multiple occasions this campaign. Respect. COMPLEX THINKING (4) Disappointing display when 6th last start at the track and coming back in trip. Has shown early pace in races to date. Winnable race. VERRUCKT (7) Unsatisfactory performance when 8th last start at this track. At least a place chance.

Comments

Started at $11.00 and sub-standard effort when 6th last start here but has drawn to do little work. Should muster plenty of early speed. Putting up notable efforts this preparation. Definite claims.

Was $3.00 and well beaten when 6th last start around here and back to a shorter distance. Likely to be well placed early. Rates as one of the key chances.
