HARDTOXPLAIN (1) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by half a length over 274m at this track (Dirt). Has a fair record at this track with a win and four placings. Should go well again. ECHICERA (2) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 274m at this track (Dirt) when he was in the firing line all the way. Will enjoy the drop in grade so he is a major player. CRYPTO FABORITE (4) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 274m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. MISSION POSSIBLE (3) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task.
