WIFFLEBALL (2) dug deep to score two runs back then was beaten 2. 75 lengths into fifth over 5½f at this track (Turf) last time seven weeks ago. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. MINISTER (7) was an emphatic winner last time over 7f at this track (Dirt) with this rider Martin Chuan engaged. Should camp just off the leaders. Likely to feature. SUMMER VIBES (1) lines up on the back of a 6 length fourth over 6f at this track. Hard to knock. ARTIST MARK (5) improved sharply last time out to score by 2. 75 lengths over 7f at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
