KARAT GOLD (6) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 1308m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. The testing material. BENKA (1) was strongly fancied when third last time over 1308m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Will prove tough to beat. HOT GYAL MOSSOP (5) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1308m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FRANCINE'S HONOUR (3) ended up 8 lengths behind the winner in eighth on debut last start over 1106m at this track. Plenty of scope for improvement. Can feature in the finish.
