Form material for interior topping slab

Placing a ~3.5" topping slab to elevate a garage floor up to the house's sl ab grade on a remodel. We cut 6" wide strips of 1/8" Masonite to act as a perimeter form to set our screed lines. Wall studs are 16" on center. As I was transferring the grade elevation onto the form, I was wondering if thi s form material is sufficiently thick for the job without causing too much bowing of the form between the studs as the slab is worked and finished? T hanks for the advise.
