OUTLANDER (1) last appeared when she finished tenth over 1600m at this track on November 3. One of the genuine hopes in the race. RIVER DAWN (2) started at $2.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths at this track over 1500m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. GAMBLER BOY (3) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 22 starts. Was again denied last start when she found one better over 1500m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. NEXT WINNER (4) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage and can run a better race.
