Hard Yards and Folsomprisonhooves to take up the running at a genuine tempo. HARD YARDS (1) ran below expectations when he stepped out to the 1600m and raced greenly and hung out with a tiring last at Moruya. Since fitted with a 900m trial placing and the blinkers go on. Set to bounce back over this trip. FOLSOMPRISONHOOVES (2) sharp improver at her second career start when sat on the speed from the wide gate to run second over 1180m at Gundagai on a heavy track. Will push forward and prove hard to get past. PRIDE OF HAZEL (5) shuffled back from the inside gate and never in contention with a battling sixth over 1180m at Gundagai. Improver over the extra ground. RAWANO (6) strips fitter after the first up run. Place only. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard Yards looks to find his race.
