FIRE THE GUARD (1) is a 18-start maiden who has been in the money 11 times, Could only manage fourth last time out over 5½f at this track. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three three times. Ideally placed to open his account. LE BEAU (3) could only manage seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 5½f at Albany, beaten only 0.9 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BLACK SANDS (2) turned in an eye-catching run over 7f at this track last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. One of the main contenders. CHERRY BAY (9) failed to figure again last time over 5½f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Solid claims on best form.
