SYDNEY JACK (2) finished 1.3 lengths back in fourth in stakes company last time over 366m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Did win two runs back by 0.3 lengths at this track (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Among the leading chances. JESS A FAVORITE (5) finished out of the money two starts back then she was never in contention and was beaten 2 lengths when fifth in a 302m contest at this track two months ago. Won't find this as tough so she is sure to be prominent. MALEFICENT DASH (7) saluted at Sandy Ridge two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when eighth over 320m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths after making up late ground. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. SAUCE C (6) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 320m at this track (Dirt), beaten a nose. Will trim down following recent racing. Nicely placed to play a role in the finish.
