Verdict

KIWI HARMONY (11) has been out of the money at two runs back, but they were in stronger races than this. With those runs under the belt and the plum draw here, she looks the testing material. BRUTIFY (9) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing half a length away in second over 6f at Terang. This track can often suit on-pacers, so she needs to go in everything. KIJIVU (2) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 5f at Camperdown but he's fitter here and 6f should suit. HELLOFACURY (8) drifted back on debut last start then came home soundly to be beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth over 5 ½f, which importantly was at this track.

9	Racing well recently. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Last start rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 13 at Terang 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on January 2 over 6f, 0.5 len behind Frosty Night with 127lbs at $4.40. The run before that made ground from midfield, 2nd of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on December 20 over 5 ½f, nose behind Ray Del Norte carrying 127lbs at $6.
