|---|---|---|---|---|

MY WINGMAN (7) ran fifth last start at this track over 2000m, beaten 12 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Has the class to take this out. SWIFT GUY (14) ran fourth last start at this track over 2000m, beaten 10 metres. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. BALLERINI (3) faces the starter for the first time. By American Ideal and hails from the Kimberly Butt stable. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Makes plenty of appeal. OMBRE SHARD (15) is a three-year-old filly by Always B Miki from Lady Gaga on debut. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Finds a nice race so anticipating a bright start to her career.
