VIKING SUN (5) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1106m at this track (Synthetic) after being prominent at the corner. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. SAM THE SHAM (1) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1006m at Delaware Park (Turf). Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. ESCAPADES (2) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1106m at this track (Synthetic) in a tougher race. Will benefit from that experience so he can feature again. FIRST NAVY JACK (6) is resuming from a spell of six months and having his first run for the M J Maker yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at this track (Turf) over 1006m.
