OLD FAITHFUL (10) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing third and beaten only 1.5 lengths. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Leading contender. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. GOLD COUNTRY (9) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1400m at this track, an improvement on her seventh at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. NEW BLOOD (8) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1500m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
