HARD SOLO (11) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished 11th over 6f in the G2 Karrakatta Plate at Ascot. Tuned up with a fourth in a recent trial at Belmont Park. Looks the one to beat. BUSY FINGERS (2) is a maiden galloper who finished in the placings over 5f at Albany before going for a break nine months ago. Fitter for two trials, placing most recently. Ready to open his account. CHINESE DENTIST (4) is a six-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 1. 4 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f123yards at this track. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. BIG BOPPER (3) finished fifth over 5f123yards at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 2 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Fitter so a likely improver.
