SEARCH FOR HOPE (1) is a seven-start maiden who finished eighth, beaten 9 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Fitter for that outing and is a great chance to break his maiden status. ELUSIVE NOTION (5) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished sixth over 7f at this track (Dirt). Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. CEDAR'S ESTATE (2) made progress last start to finish third over 4½f at this track. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. JANES JENSEN (7) returns from a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when seventh over 6½f at this track (Dirt). With the blinkers added a strong performance is on the cards.
