Strong tempo, primarily from Past And Present and Henry's Hedge. PAST AND PRESENT (5) finished 4 lengths adrift in seventh last time at Scottsville in richer company. Thereabouts since a win three back and will find this easier. GARDEN SUN (4) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 1.75 lengths away in fifth last time out over 2200m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. A BIT CHILLY (1) returns from a spell of nine weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished 12th at this track over 1400m when first-up last time in work. Well-placed and is among the chances. HENRY'S HEDGE (2) turned in another moderate effort last start when 5 lengths from the winner in eighth over 2200m at this track. Chad Little gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Better than recent efforts suggest.
