PATRIARCHAL (2) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1207m at this track. Strips fitter and can take this out. POPPY'S PRIDE (1) was a most impressive winner last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 5.5 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Leading contender. AUGER (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1207m. Well placed and should be in the finish again. SO DIALED IN (6) was beaten 9 lengths into sixth in a 1207m contest at this track four weeks ago. Erik Barbaran gets the best out of this seven-year-old gelding. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
