From their good gates Choctaw Ridge, America First and Guild The Lilly will likely vie for the lead in a keen pace battle. VALLI GAL (8) finished 2.75 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1400m at Scottsville four weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Ready to win and leading rider goes aboard. Among the leading chances. TEARS OF THE SUN (5) finished second, beaten 1.4 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Greyville All Weather. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. CHOCTAW RIDGE (1) has been thereabouts lately. Finished sixth here a few days ago and on the quick back-up. Sure to be tough to beat from an inside draw. HAPPY HOOVES (4) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at Greyville All Weather, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter for that run. In the mix.
