Prize Money: $2,925

HARD ROW (3) last start finished 3rd in a Mix 6/7 on January 6 over 400m at this track behind Storm Brewing beaten 5.5 lengths (22.88). Rates a leading player and sure to be in this for a long way. PRINCE VALHALLA (6) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Mix 6/7 winner three back (22.87) at this track over 400m. Can turn it around this time. OKAY BOSS (8) scored his maiden success two back then hit the frame last time when second and beaten 6 lengths at this track over 400m (23.01). Returns to the course where he won his maiden. Expected to be in the finish again. PAW FORTRESS (4) has won at this course and distance, cannot be ruled out.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 595m at Sandown. Others make more appeal.

Last start finished 3rd in a Mix 6/7 on January 6 over 400m at this track behind Storm Brewing beaten 5.5 lengths (22.88). Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Good performance after tracking the speed to win by half a length at this track over 460m (26.24) beating That's My Boy in Maiden on January 9. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Lines up from box 6 for the first time after finishing a 8 length fourth at this track (26.62) in a Mix 6/7. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd over 400m at this track beaten 6 lengths (23.01) behind Ivory Hamada in a Mix 6/7 on January 9. Solid chance with even luck.
