MAJOR RUSH (5) is poised to win after placing at her last four outings, most recently when second over 1400m at this track when she was in the firing line all the way. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race. CARTHUSIAN (10) has recorded four minor placings from six starts this preparation, the latest when second as a well-fancied conveyance over 1400m at this track. Has been thereabouts without winning and she is a leading hope. HO O PURSUIT (1) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Beautifully placed to bounce back to form. CROSS RATE (7) improved last time out, finishing second at the end of 1400m at this track. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
