CAPITAL HEART (2) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when tenth in a 6f contest at Wyong three weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ZOURIPPER (1) registered his first win last start over 6f at Canterbury, getting home by a long neck. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Chad Schofield was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Serious contender again with the confidence high. LAST STRAW (4) was well held in the Adrian Knox Stakes won by Good Banter over 1m2f at Randwick at her last appearance four-and-a-half months ago. Big chance in this class. VALENTINO PRINCE (8) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when sixth over 6f at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Worth another chance.
