Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 24)    

Expecting My Eyes Never Lie to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. THE REASON (9) has started twice, missing the frame on debut then doing a better job to finish third last time, beaten 2 lengths over 1160m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Looks well placed to open her account. DELAWARE RIVER (3) was strongly fancied when second last time over 1400m at this track. Overdue with a strong of solid runs lately. Among the leading chances. MASTER'S ROSE (8) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last prep with a eighth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1200m at Vaal. First try at a longer journey and bold showing is expected. ASMINDEROD (7) is a three-year-old filly on debut by Erik The Red from Alexia who has been a fine producer including a winner at G1 level. Sure to be competitive despite a tricky barrier.
