She is making her seasonal debut and returns from a 23-week break. She is in a good space and is moving well. It is a distance short of her best against male company and she may just need this run. She will come on a lot with this run under the belt.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 23 wks. Fair latest in a Grade 2. Has ability and can go close if fit.

He raced wide around the turn in his first outing for the Syndicate. He has come on with the run under his belt. It is a competitive field, but we are expecting to see improvement and he can run into the money.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Drier D R-2021.05.29. 2nd run after rest. Best MR:102. Is held by number 2 on latest.

Jockey: *Kaidan Brewer -4.0kg
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 8 (16 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
She races over 1000m against males and it is a very strong field. She is quite well-weighted in this field thanks to her 4kgs claiming apprentice, Kaidan Brewer. She may need the outing and this run will bring her on for the season to come.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 26 wks. Best MR:98. Returns from a break. Shows plenty early speed and shoulders a light weight.

Breeding: Querari (GER) – Southern Pine by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Mike de Kock
Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Wgt: 53.5kg
Draw: 5 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
Her trainer, Mike de Kock wants to try her over 1400m and around the turn. We are hoping to see her get cover in the early stages and she will be running on at the finish. She carries a handy galloping mass of 53.5kgs which will help her chances against male company.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:79. Below par in latest. Tries an extra furlong and has claims on consistent prior form.
