HARPER'S FERRY (1) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance six months ago over 1600m at Doncaster. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Comes here with definite claims. SKUKUZA (3) last appeared when he finished second over 1600m at Ascot on June 20. Has ability and should be right in the finish. TRIBAL CHIEF (5) finished second at this track and distance at his last appearance five-and-a-half months ago. Among the better hopes. BULLET POINT (6) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 1600m at this track on November 2. Has a high cruising speed. Must be respected.
