ERIN GO BRAGH (4) was close up in some handy fields earlier in the year, and will be resuming from a spell that would have done him the world of good. His trial form is strong leading into this fresh-up assignment, and for us, he is the one to beat. KITTY FLASH (6) was good enough to be G2 placed twice as a 3-year-old, and her lead-up trial form suggests that she has not taken a backward step since then. Craig Grylls returns to the saddle, and they should go close to winning this fresh up. MALMAISON (1) did not fire fresh up and probably needed the run, especially now that he is a year older. He will improve quickly with racing, and he can figure in the top 4 here. HAVE A CRACK (8) franked an impressive fresh up win on the poly track at Cambridge with an even better victory at Ellerslie 8 weeks ago. The hat-trick beckons. NICCONI COUNTY (2) can mix his form, but when right, he is up to winning a race like this. He won a recent trial, and will be ready to rumble fresh up.
