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

Anticipating a genuine tempo over the 1000m journey. STARTING POINT (12) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten half a length, over 1000m at this track. Is a winner at this circuit. Winning rider back aboard and expected to be in the finish. COUNTRY TIME (11) is going very well this time in with three wins from eight attempts. Won two starts back at Durbanville and was close again last time out. Craig Zackey sticks. Sure to play a big role. LOVE SHACK (6) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and is having her first outing under new trainer Paul Reeves. Finished sixth at Durbanville over 1250m at the opening run last time in work. Can make her presence felt. HERITAGE RIDGE (7) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1200m at this track, finishing third and beaten 0.6 lengths. Well placed and should be about the money.
