Race 5 summary - SERIOUS HOFFA has won two of last three including a tough win at Gosford over 2600m last start when he led all the way. Will take plenty of running down again.

SAINT JEROME 14-start maiden three runs back and now chasing the hat trick of wins after victories at Newcastle and Cessnock. The trip the only query. RED DREAM placed three of last four. Chased home SERIOUS HOFFA at Gosford last start and meets that galloper better at the weights. Expected to be right in the finish again.

Race 7 summary - SO HARD TO CATCH placed last two at Kembla and didn't quite see out 1400m when run down late last start. The 1300m looks ideal and ready to win.
