ABSAROKA (7) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 11 lengths away in second at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. LAST DIAMOND (2) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with two wins and six minor placings from 14 starts. Should be poised just off the lead. Will prove tough to beat. WARREN L (1) started at $6.40 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. HAWKS CREEK (4) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1609m at Canterbury Park Turf, beaten 3 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure prominently.
