BRILLIANT LIGHT (1) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 18.04 beating Dark Necessities. Well suited by the inside box and has a good record over this journey. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Can continue on with his winning form. OKEY (7) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (18.15) last time out at this track. Solid winning record at this trip. Can measure up. COVERT (6) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (23.82) from Box 5 at The Gardens over 400m. One of the better chances. NANDO BANNER (8) is worth consideration after filling a hole at this course and distance last start.

Lifted to win two runs back and scored again last start over 324m at this track (18.04,) beating Dark Necessities. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Last start finished 6th in a Grade 4/5 on June 29 over 400m at The Gardens behind Prince Leo beaten 11 lengths (23.82). Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.
