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

Solid tempo from Saragossa Cat, Dawn Surprise and Captain Ventura battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. DAWN SURPRISE (1) was flying with two wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing third over 1200m at Scottsville. Expected to be in the finish again. WHATASTAR (2) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. SHE'S A MACHINE (3) did little and finished 6 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1400m at Greyville last start, a less impressive effort than her fifth at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. DE VLUGGE (9) scored last start at this track to make it four wins and two placings from eight starts this campaign. Should park just off the speed. Should give backers a sight.
