JO BLACK (3) made a nice return last time out to finish third and beaten only 1.4 lengths over this course and distance. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. CHO UMAKUIKU (7) resumed last time out and finished third over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has solid form at this course with three wins and six minor placings from 19 starts. Likely to be in the finish. ALL THE RAGE (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1400m at this track when beaten 1.1 lengths. Commendable record at this trip with a win and four minor placings and has winning claims on best figures. COEUR ET SUGURI (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating another bold showing.
