SAHARA KARA (1) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 2 lengths over today's journey at this track (Turf). Has a good record at this trip with two wins and one minor placing. Rates highly and should go well. EVERYTHING BUGS ME (3) has switched yards since scoring by one length at CANTERBURY PARK over 1408m on July 2. In the mix despite the unknowns. JOCASTA (5) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 2.5 lengths over 1609m at this track (Turf). Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three placings. Alonso Quinonez who has three wins when partnering stays on. One of the contenders. ARIJANA'S PEARL (2) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1609m at this track. Solid top-three hope.
