COLONEL SON (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.3 lengths over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. WRITTEN TOWIN (10) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2 lengths over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. THE STAR (5) is back from a break of four months. Put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell, the most recent at this track over 1100m. Has never missed the frame at this venue, including three wins. Capable of a big run. OUTFIT (8) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1150m at this track. Well placed to figure prominently again.
