Harold Staff Memorial

Prize Money: $10,600

SHAQ KEEPING (1) continues to race in super honest form hitting the frame at 11 of 32 starts runs and has won two of last three, the latest winning (29.47) over 520m at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Has the inside draw and looks tough to beat. FEARLESS BANDIT (2) impressed when posting a powerful 29.68 over 520m at this track. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. CLASSY BANDIT (8) is a promising dog in the frame at 13 of 34 starts including 10 wins and was a last start winner (29.59) over 520m at this track. Tends to go well on this box draw. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. FLASH ETHICS (3) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Narrowly beaten last time at Goulburn when only a nose from the winner but did record an excellent 24.63 for the 440m trip. Can sneak a place again.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.5 lengths third at this track but did record a fast 29.79 over the 520m journey. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.
