SPARTA KNIGHT (4) was prominent early from trap 4 and did a fair job to be beaten a neck into second (28.64) at this track in a B4 over 450m. Likely to be in the finish again. TASK MAVERICK (5) boasts a strong record this course with two wins and two minors from five tries. Recorded a 9 length win (28.33) in a B7 last time at this track. Suited here and expected to run well. GOOD BERRY (2) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a third then scored by 3 lengths in a B5 last time at this track over 450m (28.64). Rises a grade but expected to measure up. MOSS TANG SALLY (6) will give backers a sight.
