Trainer: Sean Tarry
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 11 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1

She is returning from a 27-week break and this 1000m may be a touch on the short side for her. She is not well-weighted and will be in need of the run. This run will bring her on for future races.

Winning Form Comment: Rested 27 wks. Best MR:109. Fair latest before the break. Placed in both attempts over this distance.

Draw: 3 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1

He was in need of his last start when returning from an 11-week break. Once again, he carries a big mass of 62kgs and hoping this run will get him fit for Summer Cup day. It is a strong field, but he can run into the quartets.

Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:126. Needed latest. Can improve.

He won a good race in his last start over 1000m on the polytrack. He does carry a big weight, but the services of 2.5kgs claiming apprentice Philasande Mxoli will help him. He is in a good space and should be competitive once again.

He has produced two decent runs since returning from a 14-week break. He is coming into this race at peak fitness and he gets the services of a 2.5kg claiming apprentice. If getting off to a good beginning, he has a first three chance.
