IRREVERENT (11) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 0. 7 lengths, over 6½f at Sandown-Hillside when resuming after a lay-off. Blinkers are added so with added fitness she looms as a big threat. THE BENCHMARK (9) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 1. 75 lengths into third over 6½f at Sandown-Hillside. Backmarker who keeps coming. Best form puts him right in this. PERFECT LINK (7) is on debut. By Brazen Beau and hails from the Greg Eurell stable. Comes here off a Cranbourne trial placing. Expect a bold run. NEGENTROPY (6) resumes from a lay-off of five months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1m at Sandown-Hillside. Placed in a recent trial. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
