Stake: $242

BLACK BRIDGES (3) has a strong record this trip with 12 wins and eight placings from 31 starts. Scored by 2 lengths last time (28.87) in an A1 over 480m at this track. Looks well placed and should feature. BORNA THYME (4) boasts a strong record this journey with eight wins and 10 minors from 22 tries. Comes off a (29.01) win last time, scoring by 3 lengths in an A1 over 480m at Thurles. Suited here and expected to run well.

GUDHAND BEN (6) has won at this course and distance – sure to figure prominently.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 28.87, beating Innfield Force. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
