MASK ON (1) finished 5.5 lengths adrift in seventh last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Likely improver with strong prospects. RUGGER LOVER (7) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark five runs back, the latest effort a second over 5f at Scottsville. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and shapes as a key contender. CHARA SANDS (9) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 5f. Likely to play a major role. GRANDDADDY PURPLE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
