SURPRISE PENDING (14) is a daughter of Impending from the Listed winner It's Been A Battle who makes her debut. Has good trial form and is sure to run well. BENDING AWAY (10) resumed three-and-a-half weeks ago over 5½f at Gawler and was only beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to find winning form. KORATORA (12) stepped out on her debut over 6f at this track two weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under her belt. TERRITORIAN (8) resumes from a lay-off of five months. Could only manage to finish eighth at the latest run over 5¼f at this track. Placed in a recent trial. Solid top-three hope.
