ARIKARA (6) is a distance specialist who has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 4 lengths into second over 1106m at this track when she was always up in the leading division. Kerron Khelawan gets the best out of this eight-year-old mare. Tackling a more suitable race so she is a major player. EVEN PANDURA (2) improved last start when she worked home well to finish second over 1207m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. INDYETTA (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1207m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. This doesn't look as hard so she is all set to build on that latest effort. HIGHLANDER HONEY (5) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1207m at this track, clocking in 5 lengths from the winner. Excels over this journey with four wins from eight runs. Solid top-three hope.
