ALL THE HARDWAYS (3) is going well with four minor placings from five starts this prep. Continued the trend last start when third over 6f at this track (Dirt) after he was in the firing line all the way. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CRAB DADDY (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing third and only 0. 8 lengths from the winner at the end of 6f. Nicely placed to take this out. FORMAL AFFAIR (6) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fourth, beaten 14 lengths, over 1m1f at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Yedsit Hazlewood gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. IN THE DANCE (2) is back from a lay-off of 11 weeks. Scored a good win at his final run last campaign at Delaware Park (Dirt) over 1m1/4f. Among the better hopes.
