HARADA SOLO (7) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at this track over 320m behind My Friend Bec (18.80) in a Grade 5. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Has ability and looks hard to stop. RAIL BEYOND (5) turned in a moderate effort last time when seventh at Dapto over 297m behind Muscle Memory (17.67) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Has never been out of the placings from two starts out of this box. Leading chance. CONFECTIONERY (8) turned in a moderate performance last time when seventh at this track over 320m behind Cochise Squaw (19.06) in a Grade 5. Was a winner the start prior. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. One of the main contenders. RAINING BOURBON (2) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (17.90) in a Grade 5 at Taree Super Track last time out. Good beginner aided by a handy draw.
