CHEVAL GRIS (11) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 2200m at Newcastle. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MEET ME IN BONDI (6) won his maiden four starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when second over 1600m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be in the finish. TRAPALANDA (7) is a four-year-old import having his first run for the Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald yard. Has been gelded since his last appearance. Scored at his last run over 2414m at Listowel seven months ago. Ran ninth in a trial over 1200m at Warwick Farm and he is a definite winning chance. DE LOUVIERE (2) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 2200m at Scone. Meets a tougher line-up this time but is among the better hopes.
