Solid tempo with Clever Ben using the rails draw with Too Sweet not too far away. CLEVER BEN (1) is a progressive four-year-old filly who resumes from a break of five-and-a-half months, her last appearance being a win over 1200m at this track. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past and should be hard to stop. TOO SWEET (9) returns from a break of seven months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. ZEPHYR BAROWS (8) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished sixth last time out over 1000m at this track a week ago. Steps up in journey today. Among the chances. ROPIA (10) resumes in a similar race to her last run five-and-a-half months ago when fifth. One of the better hopes.
