APOLLO RIDGE (4) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1000m at Wyong after being prominent at the bend. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. HE'S COOL (8) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 900m at Newcastle after being prominent at the bend. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. RIVANA (7) finished third as favourite last time out over 1000m at Quirindi, making it two minor placings from three starts this time in work. Form sound without winning and she is a leading hope. I AM BRAVE (6) is a first-starter by I Am Invincible from Andromache who has produced a high percentage of winners-to-runners. Filled a minor placing in her most recent trial at Rosehill. Has fared well at the barrier draw and should play a big role.
