Anticipate Harry's Evidence, Li'l Grug and Winner Of Kowloon to set a strong tempo. WINNER OF KOWLOON (3) progressive mare who resumes from a lengthy break. Attacked the line strongly in the heavy (8) going with a narrow third over 1300m at this track. Primed with the two trials and can return in winning form. VIDIA (10) got off the mark at her first run back with a slick on-pace win over 1150m at Beaumont (Newcastle). Doesn't get the same map favours today but stays in the mix. VIVIAN'S EXPRESS (5) talented filly who was no match for Ninja three starts back at Eagle Farm. Indicated she was near her best with a handy third over 1300m at Hawkesbury in stronger company. Well drawn and sure to be thereabouts. The chances don't end there. KNIGHT OF RHODES (7) resumes. Ploughed through the heavy (8) going on debut with a tough victory over 1200m at Nowra last September. Wasn't pushed out in both trials and not to be overlooked. SUGGESTED PLAY: Winner Of Kowloon gets conditions to suit.
