A strong gallop is likely with The Night Ferry and Midway taking up the running, closely attended by Etoilefillante and Beautiful Side. LARK'S SONG (5) is a progressive three-year-old filly who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1600m at Durbanville on February 14. Andrew Fortune stays aboard. Just missed in a richer race latest. Won only try this course and distance and expected to go close. RED STATE (9) found the line in great style to score by one length last time out over 1800m at Durbanville at the second run back from a spell. Likely to measure up again. THE NIGHT FERRY (8) has placed three of last four including this class latest behind Red State. Another bold run is expected. BACKINTHEFASTLANE (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Durbanville, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see him in contention.
