SOUTHOFTHEBORDER (3) is unlucky to still be a maiden hitting the top-four in all three runs this preparation and strikes a very winnable contest here. Hoop Hellyer has been in the irons on all three occasions and sticks today. Rates the testing material. NIENNA (9) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and will find this easier than recent Sunny Coast efforts. Looms as the main danger. FUTURE HERO (2) gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim and maps well from gate two. Top-three contender. ALZURRI (1) is better than recent runs suggest and may earn some minor money with any luck in running. BUFFALO THEORY (10) looks to be improving with racing and is ready for the step-up in trip now. In the mix.
