|---|---|---|---|---|

MASTER CLASS (3) has raced two times this prep and has filled a minor placing on each occasion. Turned in yet another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1980m at this track, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. GALLEONS AMBASSADOR (7) resumes here after closing her last prep with a ninth at Ascot Park Raceway on October 20. Expect her to be prominent. PRACTICAL MAGIC (10) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 5.5 metres at Ascot Park Raceway over 2700m. A HILL TWO MENNY (6) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at this track over 1980m.
