RED VERMEER (1) was handy on straightening and went on to finish second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten half a length as favourite. Likely improver with strong prospects. DIAMOND HANDS (6) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at Chukyo over 1600m on August 25 2024. Rates highly and should take beating. PASSCODE (11) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1600m at Chukyo, beaten 7 lengths when well in the market. Boasts a 100% top-three strike rate when second up. Should do far better this time. JOYEUX NOEL (9) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth over 1600m at Chukyo. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
