Plenty of pressure on from the outset.
EGYPTIAN LASS (7) is a five-year-old mare lining up for the 22nd time but such is the quality of this field she looks a good thing. Raced handy and battled on well for another minor placing last start over 1050m at Inverell. Just needs to hold that form to take care of these. KOBI EXPRESS (4) is back for a second campaign following a four-month spell. Showed plenty of natural pace when last in work but struggled to finish his races off. Will go forward from the inside gate and give backers a sight. DAWN RIDER (3) has transferred from Ciaron Maher to Donna Grisedale since failing on debut over 1150m at the Beaumont track in February. Trialled okay recently and should be thereabouts. ARAKOOLA (2) is a locally trained first starter who placed at his only public trial. Expect a decent showing. ANOTHER BLING (1) next best after a couple of plain efforts to kick off this prep. SUGGESTED PLAY: Egyptian Lass to win.
