SCREAM MACHINE (7) reunites with L A Batista after scoring with ease over 1006m at this track (Dirt) last time. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best figures should see her run well. TIERGARTEN (2) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 17 lengths. Has the ability to figure prominently. STRAND OF GOLD (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 29 when beaten 9 lengths into seventh at Thistledown (Dirt) over 1207m. Finds the right race this time and can make amends. ICE FLOE (3) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 905m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Well placed to turn things around.
