Trainer: Mike and Mathew de Kock

Draw: 1 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
She was badly in need of her comeback run over 1600m on the polytrack. The daughter of Futura steps up to 1950m which she will prefer. She is not at peak fitness for this outing, and we are hoping for an improved performance.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Needed latest badly. Is back on turf and has scope.

He has finished second in his last two starts at Hollywoodbets Greyville. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale asked for the blinkers to be fitted. He is doing very well at home and has an each way chance.

Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 5 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He returns from a short seven-week break. He is very well in himself and has freshened up nicely. The stable has opted to drop him to 1200m, and the blinkers will sharpen him up. It is a competitive field, but he can run into the money.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Best MR:93. Is dropping in trip. Blinker strike.
