\n

He went out favourite from a horrible draw last time out and\u00a0<\/span>wasn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0bad, but things look a lot better for Harry Belafonte this week and\u00a0<\/span>he\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0paying huge money. Should get the right trip on the markers behind the right kind of horse and with a bit of luck at the right time can be a major each way player here.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n

One of the better ones behind a rampant Tempo Warrior here a fortnight ago, Caught\u00a0<\/span>The<\/span>\u00a0Eye (8) made up good ground on slick sectionals and is going to win one soon. Nice chance tonight with only a small field of rivals and a little luck and a drag into it and she should be the one to beat.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Wee freshen up for\u00a0<\/span>Bruciebytheseaside<\/span>\u00a0(4) after finishing second for Wishing\u00a0<\/span>For<\/span>\u00a0U here last time out. Talented pacer who footed it with some of the better three-year-olds of the age prior to his last run. Nice draw to work from and should be on the speed and out of trouble and<\/span>, ultimately, hard<\/span>\u00a0to beat.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Getting back behind the mobile should be key for Transonic (7) after\u00a0<\/span>be<\/span>\u00a0bumbled the standing start fresh up. Pretty nice horse when\u00a0<\/span>he\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0on the job and it would be no surprise to see him roll across and control this and show his talent.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
