SUTHERLAND (1) finished sixth over 6f at Ellis Park (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on July 5. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. LEND IT TEWMEY (3) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 6½f at Ellis Park after being in the firing line on the turn. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. PENROD (11) bounced back last start and got the job done by 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner over 6f at Ellis Park (Dirt). Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. BORN FLAWLESS (8) is back from a lay-off of ten weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 7f at this track (Dirt). Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
