ORANGE CANYON (4) is back from a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a fifth, beaten 9 lengths, over 7f at this track. Nicely placed and expected to go well. MEEMAW'S GIRL (3) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. ADDITIONAL FACTOR (5) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 0. 8 lengths at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with one win and two minor placings. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. GOLDEN PLUNGE (8) had been rock-solid with three placings in a row before finishing sixth over 6½f at this track last start. Must be respected.
