GARRARD'S HORSE & HOUND STAKES

Prize Money: $4,364

FIREMAN FRED (7) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 525m behind Opawa Schofer (30.76) in a Class 3. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Better than last start and worth following up. VERSTAPPEN JEWEL (4) produced a moderate run last time when sixth at this track over 525m behind Opawa Schofer (30.90) in a Class 3. Was a winner the start prior. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. KNOW MATCH (6) dropped out early but hit the line hard, charging into third and beaten 3 lengths win (30.55) at this track in Class 3. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings seven times from 13 attempts. Overdue and expected to feature again.

Was out of placings last time (30.76) at this track in a Class 3, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Makes strong appeal.
