ASSCHER (5) is a seven-time winner who has been performing well, scoring by 1.3 lengths last time out over 1f180yards at this track. Races well here and is likely to run another big race. ESPECIALLY GOODCANDY (8) was a strong winner last time over 1f180yards at this track (Dirt), scoring by half a length to make it three on end. Has a superb record here at the journey with two wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. Expected to go very well. FLYING SOPHIA (7) fought on well to finish second last start over 1f180yards at this track (Dirt), beaten half a length. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. DEEP BLUE (2) was prominent at the bend and finished third last time over 1f180yards at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten one length. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is good enough to play a major role.
