Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a keen tempo. DARK MATTER (2) ran an encouraging race on debut over 1000m at Scottsville, against male company. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She would have come on from the run and she should like the rise to 1200m. With the natural improvement that is expected, she may be the one to side with. DELAWARE RIVER (6) hails from the visiting Stuart Pettigrew stable. She has shown signs of needing her first two starts. Likely improver with the extra trip expected to suit. ROYAL KAILANI (1) was in need of her debut over this distance at Scottsville.The daughter of Querari would have come on from the run and she should have improvement to come. LOVE THE USA (8) is on debut. By The United States and comes from the G Van Zyl (Jnr) stable. Expected to go a bold race.
