Hamilton Race 5 - Vhrc / Alexandra House Sports Club Pace
KEAYANG HUSTLER (6) scored at Horsham two runs ago before having his colours lowered when sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 10 metres. Primary contender if things go his way. MAJOR ROY (7) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 2200m at Ballarat, beaten 1.1 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Primary contender based on recent form. HUXHAM CHUBB (8) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.75 metres at Terang. LOU EASYANA (9) will strip fitter second-up and is a solid top-four chance
