HARDLEY GREY (2) started at $6 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 1.75 lengths at Grafton over 1435m. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. CABSAV (1) finished third when resuming from a spell last start over 1130m at Grafton. Has a good record at this journey with four wins from 22 starts. Ticks all the right boxes. MONARCH EXPRESS (3) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 2.25 lengths into fifth over 1130m at Grafton. Meeting a tougher field but with added fitness he is good enough to take this out. DAZZLING ROBERT (11) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1435m at Grafton, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Capable of featuring prominently.
