FIRE THE GUARD (1) finished third, beaten 0.6 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at Northam. Ready to go a couple better. SHASFA (8) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at Northam over 5f, beaten 1.75 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best figures should see her run well. HEZ GOT THE SAFE (9) settled well back on debut three-and-a-half months ago then warmed up late to finish third over 5f at this track at his only run to date. Looks to have a future so he is among the leading chances. SAFEKEEPER (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.9 lengths from the winner in second over 5½f at Northam. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
