Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. UNIVERSAL HARMONY (1) has changed stables since his last start at Cranbourne in December. The form that he showed down South is more than good enough for him to win a race in this area at short notice. OKANUI (5) ran his best race yet when finishing third at a recent Dalby picnic meeting nearly 3 weeks ago. He has 5.5kg less to carry here, and another solid effort can be expected. SHEZA ALIBI (6) is making her debut and won her only public trial on this track under her own steam. Each way. FANCY LEGEND (7) is resuming off a long spell and was last racing in NSW. He has a home track advantage and the market will be your best guide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Universal Harmony to win.
