PIPLUP (13) turned in a strong run last time at the first run of the prep when she settled well back before running on hard to be beaten only a long neck into third over 1m at Wyong. Will be tough to hold out again. IL TEVERE (4) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Could only manage to finish eighth last time out over 7¾f at Canterbury following a minor placing at Kembla Grange over 7½f the run prior. Should be in the mix. HENLEY EXTREME (10) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1m2 1/2f at Gosford. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. FAKHRA (8) was prominent at the turn and finished third last time over 1m at Newcastle, beaten 2 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake.
