ESSENTRIC NATURE (4) came from well back on the bend to score last time out over 6½f at this track. William Pike who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Bold showing expected. DEFERRED (8) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 9 lengths back in seventh over 6f at this track. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. PROPHET AND POWER (1) is back after a break of eight months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 7f at this track. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with three minor placings from three tries. Looks a strong top-three prospect. PROFIT POCKET (6) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on 26/07/2025, finishing tenth and beaten 7 lengths over 6f at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Must be respected.
