SUTTON BREEZE (1) returns from a break of six months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1106m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. ALMOND CIDER (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. STORMIN SAMMY (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong prospects. MAX FOSTER (6) is back after a break of six months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 905m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt.
