RIPPEN GOLD (11) has been in the money two times including last start on June 9 when third over 7f32yards at this track. Has a sound record here with two top-three finishes from three starts. Nicely placed and expected to go very well. FIORENTE DE LEGEND (8) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a lay-off on February 25 finishing ninth and beaten 37 lengths over 1m2 1/2f in the LR Tasmanian Oaks at Launceston. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. OXY BOLT (3) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten a neck, over 7f32yards at this track when coming back from a lay-off. Sure to be thereabouts. STERREK (5) faced the starter for the first time and finished eighth last start at this track over 7f32yards, beaten 2.75 lengths. Likely improver with blinkers added.
