RIGHTEOUS (8) showed good early dash at the first run after a lay-off last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 3.5 lengths away in third over 1m3/4f at Sale. Well-placed and will take catching. CLEOPATRA LINK (10) is yet to break through but has been in the money five times including last start when second over 1m2 1/4f at Seymour. Has weighed in at all two tries over this distance. Has a high cruising speed. Will play a major role. PALENTINE PRINCESS (12) is a four-start maiden who finished 12th at her most recent appearance over 1m at Bairnsdale. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. CLASSIC STORY (2) is on a quick turnaround after a moderate eighth over 1m at Bairnsdale eight days ago. Capable of putting that recent failure behind him.
