SURROUNDINGS (6) produced a modest effort most recently when eighth at Gosford over 388m behind Flying For Aaron (23.42) in a Grade 5. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Should be very hard to beat this time. JENNIFER JUNIPER (3) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when third (18.39) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Can measure up. AKI THE BRAVE (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 320m behind She's Promising (18.81) in a Grade 5. Better than last start and can bounce back. HARDSTYLE RUBY (4) did the right thing for favourite backers last time - cannot be taken lightly.
