THANK YOU AMY (3) has been racing well this preparation, scoring last start over 1207m at this track (Synthetic) to make it three wins from six runs this time in. Top strike rate at the journey with two wins and two placings from four starts and is sure to go well. HECTOR (4) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 4 lengths back in fourth over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. KING MENDELSSOHN (1) returns from a spell of nine weeks after back-to-back wins to close last campaign, the latest over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Has a formidable combination with Israel O Rodriguez who has been aboard for his last two wins. One of the main contenders. SHY DA RUNNER (5) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten just 0.3 lengths. Suitably placed so he can feature again.
