SOUPED UP (2) started this prep with a win two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when prominent at the bend before winding up in second over 7f at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. Multiple Group 3 winner PATCHES O'HOULIHAN (6) returns from a lay-off of eight months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fifth over 6f in the G2 Kennedy Road Stakes at this track. Has a very good record here with six wins from seven starts. Leading contender. RELOAD'S RASCAL (7) couldn't have been more impressive when resuming last start when he scored by 3 lengths over 6f at this track. Has a strong record at the trip and is expected to feature in the finish. RAT PORTAGE (1) finished third when resuming two runs back at this track then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 6f at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
