Apollo Ridge and Hard Rattle look to take it up. APOLLO RIDGE (1) bumped into some handy types in his first prep and resumes today. Has impressed in both trials and expected to go close. RIVANA (4) nice return when she attacked the line late to run an encouraging third over 1000m at this track. A repeat of the latest will see her fight out the finish. MIND BENDER (3) filly by So You Think from a Lonhro mare on debut for the Joe Pride stable. Had mixed luck in her last two trials and gets her chance from the draw. HARD RATTLE (9) not beaten far when fifth over 1010m at Port Macquarie. All her good form is at this track. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Apollo Ridge to win.
