STRATHCONA (1) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 1.75 lengths back in fourth over 7f at this track. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. HERNE HILL (2) drifted back last time but wound up nicely to finish in the placings over 7f at this track just nine days ago. Good effort last start and will be hard to beat. MEDAL (4) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 5f at Bowen. Will strip fitter and is ready to show what he can do. LOVE ON SUNDAY (6) finished second two runs back at Innisfail then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 7½f at Innisfail. Finds a suitable race and can make it two in succession.
