KVITKA STRIDE (1) faces the starter for the first time. By Downbytheseaside and hails from the Rickie Alchin stable. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Looks to have some ability based on a recent trial win. Finds a nice race so anticipating a bright start to her career. BIRUBI BOOGIE (5) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 4.5 metres. Expected to run well. AMERICAN HOLD UP (2) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. BOUQUET STRIDE (4) is at the track for the first time. By Always B Miki and hails from the Rickie Alchin stable. Will be ready to run a big race.

Comes here second-up after two-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Warrawee Way Back (1:57.00) in 2yo on July 24 at $71. Might need more time.
