Prize Money: $14,500

IRON CLAD (2) resumes from a spell of eight months after showing some good form as a juvenile, winning three races here including the Gold Bullion Final and finishing fourth in a Group 1 in Sydney. Draws well and should be ready to go off a trial win. HARMONY (5) headed north after coming from a wider draw than this for a win at Newcastle and came off the back line when only 2.4m behind the winner for third last week. Talented and looks a big danger. DRAGON (3) came from the back row to score here last week. Race fit and the good draw could see him go on with it. ROYAL CRUISER (1) had a tough draw when he resumed in the Redcliffe Derby. Yet to miss a place second-up and is much better drawn.
