NEWS AHEAD (3) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 15 lengths into sixth over 1600m at this track. Meets a stronger field but she is fitter and capable of running a bold race. GRAB THE MOMENT (7) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1400m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Promising type who can go back-to-back. ALLEGIANT (2) turned in a disappointing run last time out over 1600m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is up to the task. MAGNOLIA TREE (8) got off the mark over 2100m at this track last start, scoring by 6 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Harder task ahead this time but can measure up.
