HEY PAL (5) has registered three minor placings from four runs this preparation. Turned in another good effort last time out when third over 1710m at this track (Dirt) after he was prominent throughout. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ALMEZ (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fifth over 1710m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. RESILIENT HERO (4) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1710m at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. In the right race and is a winning hope. MAGIC BEACH (7) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1609m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
