FLYING ARGYLE (3) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 4½f at this track when second, beaten 0.9 lengths. Inside draw will assist so he will be hard to beat. BRONCO REVOLUTION (7) is a four-start maiden who finished seventh, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at Canterbury. Improvement to come and this is her chance to break through. Group 3 placegetter COUNTEROFFENSIVE (2) is a maiden galloper resuming. After a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a fourth over 5½f in the LR Talindert Stakes at Flemington, beaten 2.25 lengths. Sharpened for this with a placing in a recent trial. Capable of a big return. THE FORT (11) debuted three-and-a-half weeks ago when she finished fifth over 5f at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 4 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement.
