PRETTY IN PINK (3) was successful as the odds-on favourite last start by 5.5 metres in a solid performance at this track over 2200m. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. VISCOUNT MACKENDON (2) finished fourth last start, beaten 7 metres at this track over 2200m. Expecting a very good run. BRAVEHEARTHIGHLANDER (5) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this track over 2200m. Must be included in exotic bets. WESTAR MILLY (6) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 2200m at this track last time out.

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 2200m at this track, beaten 7 m by Loteria (2:47.40) on August 22 at $4.30. Before that, 6th (10m 3) over 2200m at this track beaten 15 m by Santapazienza (2:52.10) on August 8 at $4.30. Certainly worth another chance.

Well-beaten 8 days ago at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m, before that 5th (10m 2) over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 11 m by Run Forest Run (2:50.60) on July 31 at $5.10. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second behind Westar Milly at this track over 2700m on August 15 at $2. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Loteria at this track over 2200m on August 22 at $4.60. Genuine threat.
