CANDY BAR (1) finished ninth over 1609m at this track (Turf) last time out following a determined win two runs back. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will play a major role. DEA MATRONA (9) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her last appearance at Del Mar (Turf) over 1609m on August 29. Has switched to the R Baltas stable. Sure to make her presence felt. SHIN JIDAI (8) lines up for the first time since November 14. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. TAM'S LITTLE ANGEL (5) finished third last time over 1207m at this track (Turf) when resuming from a spell, beaten 5.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
