ROCK HARD LOVE (7) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing third and beaten a long neck over 6f at Newcastle. Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. ZOURIPPER (9) is a gelding by Zoustar out of Ineffable who is at the races for the first time. Looks ready after placing in a recent Randwick trial. Should run well. ABSOLUTE POWER (5) resumes from a lay-off of nine months. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 6¼f at Canterbury. Placed in a recent trial. Strong winning chance on best figures. OHTANI (3) was last at the races when he finished sixth over 6¼f at Canterbury on June 21. Has found the right race and is worth including.
