SONG SUNG BLUE (8) hasn't been beaten too far away in any of her four starts at Addington since a spell. Those outings will have brought her to peak fitness and while she'll have to overcome a wide barrier she looks nicely placed. FOXING EASTON (2) is racing well well having placed in four of his last five outings. Came from this draw when runner-up at Young Quinn Raceway two back. Can be right in the action again. ROCK BAND (6) hasn't raced since April but has won two of three fresh attempts and scored in her lone attempt at this distance. EVANGALIST (5) resumes after six months but goes well fresh with two wins and two placings from six attempts. Has won three of four attempts at this distance so looking for a strong return.
