Marseilles and Cork Bay can be prominent. CORK BAY (1) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 1250m at Durbanville. Close to another win and worth following up. MARSEILLES (2) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 4 lengths away in sixth over 1000m at this track on May 31 which was the only run of that prep. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Leading contender. LYRICAL GANGSTER (4) finished second two runs back at Durbanville then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 1250m at Durbanville. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. FERRYMAN (6) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Closed last prep with a sixth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Capable of playing a big role.
